It is amazing! I was so lucky to know someone who got an ARC. I was worried because she hasn’t done fantasy before but I worried for nothing. It was awesome, like usual for Marchetta.

Wasn’t Perfect Chemistry such ludicrously awesome fun? I read almost the whole thing over again after I finished it.

It was. Not the best written or most original but it just had something special and engrossing about it. I’ve reread it, too. :)
