The chemistry between Kaitlyn and Martin is almost tangible. The plot is simple but unpredictable and the pacing is well executed. This is the first book I’ve read by Penny Reid, and I love her fluid writing style. Such isn’t the case with Attraction: Elements of Chemistry #1. Novellas also tend to suffer from rushed or disjointed narratives. That’s mainly because the short length doesn’t allow an author to sufficiently develop characters with whom I can connect.

It’s extremely rare that I give five stars to a novella. I thought this would be an average New Adult opposites attract story, but it surpassed my expectations in every way. Can she overcome her aversion to being noticed? Will he be able grow beyond his self-centered nature? Or, despite their obvious chemistry, will Martin be the one to drive Kaitlyn into the science cabinet of obscurity for good? When Kaitlyn saves Martin from a nefarious plot, Martin uses the opportunity to push Kaitlyn out of her comfort zone: spring break, one week, house parties, bathing suits, and suntan lotion. Kaitlyn wants Martin for his brain, specifically to tabulate findings of trace elements in surface water.

Kaitlyn might be the only girl who isn’t interested in exploiting his stunning rower’s build, chiseled features, and family's billionaire fortune. Despite her best efforts, she can’t escape the notice of Martin Sandeke-bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor-who also happens to be Kaitlyn’s chemistry lab partner. Kaitlyn Parker has no problem being the invisible girl, which is why she finds herself hiding in various cabinets and closets all over her college campus.
