Welcome to Litsy!

Since June was a mood reading month, I had to wait until the wee hours of July 1st to make my #BookSpinBingo TBR to ensure I didn‘t pick up something on the list prior to the end of the month.

Also, if I read all of these, I‘ll have completed my full NetGalley #Roll100 list! 😬🥳🤩 Since my Chirp #Roll100 includes full series audios, I still have 51 books to read before it‘s complete, even though I‘ve already finished 77 individual books. 😅

Fun chemistry but I wish they‘d just TALK! TO! EACH! OTHER! The main was clueless to keep pushing Zoey and Kian and be so careless with their feelings. Also, as a psych person, this experiment sounds really cool; except please don‘t drop out of your PhD before graduation like that and expect to be let in again 🥲

Feels similar to The Kiss Quotient but stands apart as it‘s own unique rom-rom. A psych student trying to calculate the “Sizzle Paradox” (aka the chemistry in relationships) by dating various men and rating them on the scale. But if she can‘t figure it out, how does she have any right to have a thesis on the topic? Very steamy!!

Cute, but had a few issues with Lyric that drove me nuts.

I normally enjoy her books, but I just couldn‘t get into this one; no sizzle and a very annoying protagonist who never got better. Unfortunately, this was not my cup of tea and while I almost DNF so many times, I slogged through it to the end in hopes of a payoff. There was none.

3.5/5

Lyric and Kian are best friends and roommates. When Lyric's research on sexual attraction stalls, Kian offers to take her on fake dates to help figure out what's going wrong.

For a grad student studying sexual attraction, Lyric was painfully naive about relationships, and I got Emma vibes from how cluelessly Lyric kept trying to pair up Kian and her friend Zoey when it was very obvious that neither of them was interested in the other.
