2 y separately published work icon Can't Beat the Chemistry Kat Colmer , ( nar. Katrina Roe ) Chinchilla : Rhiza Edge , 2021 15397760 2019 single work novel young adult romance

'Ionic and covalent bonds are a piece of cake for MJ. But human bonds are a little harder ...

'There are only two things MJ wants in her final year of high school:

'1) Glowing grades and ...

'2) to convince uber-smart, chiselled-jaw Jason they’d be a winning team outside the science lab as well as in.

'Tutoring deadbeat drummer, Luke, isn’t part of the plan. After all, he has average intelligence, takes disorganised notes and looks like a partied-out zombie at their study sessions! Not even his taut biceps will win MJ over.

'But MJ learns that she could be tutored in a few life lessons too: That sometimes there’s good reason to skip chemistry tutorials. That intelligence is so much more than a grade average.

'And that sometimes you can’t beat the chemistry.'
