The Chemistry of Love by Sariah Wilson

4.0

This was 4 stars for me, if I set aside the fact that Anna is a grown-ass woman who acts like a boy-obsessed tween, fully believing she's in love with a man she has only spoken to 2-3 times over multiple years despite his own actions/her best friend/everyone around her repeatedly telling her that he is a sleazy asshole...Anna was very annoying, especially in the beginning. I mean, who tf quits her job in the hope that some guy in senior management will finally go on a date with her; a boss with whom she has never had a substantial conversation over several years, and who has not only never once even remembered her name but obviously does not care at all about you or your job???

ANYWAY, I think if the assholery of said boss (Craig) had been more stealthy, and if Anna and Craig had spoken more than a handful of words over the course of several years/had a better working relationship, this could have been a 5-star review for me because I *loved* reading the progression of Anna and Marco's relationship. I'm just sad that Anna is supposed to be so incredibly smart and amazing at her job and yet depicted as this obsessed tween girl for the first 3rd of the book.

Oh, one last good thing. I did genuinely appreciate that Craig's fiancée was depicted as a sweet, friendly woman instead of a bitchy villain keeping Anna and Craig apart. And GOOD FOR HER in the end too! Craig didn't deserve her either.
