I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there is something about Lucy that I really liked. She was socially awkward, and didn’t necessarily make the best choices. But I found her kind of endearing. Yes, she did low key stalk Jenson, but yet, something about her was really likeable. Plus, I’m a bit of a socially awkward blunder at times myself, so it did make her a little bit more relatable – at least for me.
Jenson is nothing like what I expected from the beginning and the blurb. And I kind of love how I was constantly surprised at how this romance unfolded. Normally, I can pigeon hole the characters a little, but Imperfect Chemistry had me constantly guessing about how this story was going to unfold. And I really loved that. It’s why, even though I didn’t devour this romance like others, I’m actually quite keen to dive into Imperfectly Criminal – I can’t wait to be surprised again.
Although this was a romance, it was Lucy’s friendships with Freya, Bethany, Ted, and ultimately Clare that were brilliant. I may enjoy a good romance, but it is the side characters and friendships which always bring me pure joy. As someone who is admittedly a little odd at times, I loved how these four just… took to Lucy’s oddities and decided to keep her.
I read this at a point in my life when I wasn’t really in the mood for romances. And yet, this still managed to hit the spot. It wasn’t so romance heavy that it made me nostalgic for something I no longer had, but it had enough that it gave me constant hope for the future. I really enjoyed this and I’m glad that I have now got a new romance author to add to my bookshelves.
