Experimental Marine Biology (Chemistry Lessons, #5) by Susannah Nix
Review by Meaghan Experimental Marine Biology is the latest installment of the “Chemistry Lessons” series and my first of Susannah Nix’s books and it definitely will not be my last! I have a whole series of kick-arse female scientists to catch up on! This was a beautifully written friends-to-lovers story that proves distance is no match for true love. As a scientist myself, albeit in a completely different field of science, I resonated so strongly with our leading lady Brooke. Studying to obtain her PhD in Marine Biology, Brooke’s life consists of experiments, report writing, and doing everything in her power to be the best in her field. Her relationship with her parents is strained after a mistake from her past, and when her dad gets some troubling news Brooke is devastated when she realizes she is the last to find out. Dylan and Brooke have been best friends since their first meeting back when they were kids. Despite spending months (or sometimes years) at a time apart and with minimal contact, when they do catch up it’s like no time has past and their friendship is as strong as ever. Dylan’s latest visit is a much needed time out from his busy career as a model. He is ready to find companionship and a real relationship, he’s ready for the world to see the real him. Dylan is the sweet boy next door (or in this case from the house across the road) who you can’t help but fall for. When Brooke’s family life takes an unexpected twist he drops everything to be there for her. This book was the sweet love story I needed in my life right now, I loved watching their relationship bloom from friends to lovers. Don’t get me wrong there was just the right amount of drama to draw you in, and let’s not forget the hot and steamy scenes to keep things interesting. One thing to note this story does briefly touch on some heavy themes (including abortion, parental illness, and disordered eating). Although they are certainly not the main focus, they may be triggering for some readers. **ARC provided for an honest review**
