Addie Emerson doesn’t believe in love. Not for herself, anyway. With one year left of high school, she’s more interested in snagging a full scholarship to Harvard than a full-time boyfriend.

That doesn’t mean she’s oblivious to the ways of the heart. Or, rather, the head. Because after months of research, Addie has discovered how to make anyone fall in love. All you need is the secret formula.

But will her discovery be enough to win the coveted Athenian Award and all its perks? (See above, full scholarship to Harvard.) Or will she be undone by Dexter, her backstabbing lab partner, who is determined to deep-six her experiments at their exclusive private school?

Those are the least of her problems now that she’s survived a death-defying flight with a mysterious, dark-haired boy, who has delicious chocolate-brown eyes and a few secrets of his own.

With an experiment to mastermind, an infatuated exchange student on her hands, and at least one great white shark (more on that later), can Addie’s prefrontal cortex outwit her heart? Or will she have to give in to her amygdala and find out, once and for all, if this thing called love is more than just her brain on drugs?

Book kindly provided by friends. Thank you.

The Cover:

Although they say never judge a book by it's cover I believe the cover should represent what the book is going to be like or at least some aspect of it.

Cute cover. Bright pale blue background. I love it.
😍

The Story:
I have clearly forgotten what it's about. Too much on my mind.
😑

Relationships:

There were more than one couples, and relationships in this book but I will only talk about one of them.

Addie x Kris
I feel like I've done this before and just forgot to publish it so I barely remember my thoughts on these two. Ugh!!!!!!

Overall:
OK!
So I'm just going to delete most of the format in which I do my reviews because I cannot, for the life of me, remembers what my thoughts were on this book. It's like it was wiped out of my brain. Now I hope you don't take that to mean that I did not like it or that it was not memorable. It's just me and my busy brain. I forget things a lot.
But I do feel like I have written about this book here and upon some searching, I found that I had was written good things.

I wrote such comments like:

"I just immediately feel I should say that I already love it. It does have a ton of big scientific words that I don't understand, but I still like the story it has, and the romance between the two main characters. It's sweet and smart, and I like it."

"I also finished reading This is My Brain on Boys by Sarah Strohmeyer last week as well and even if it was all big words and confusing plots I actually liked it a lot. "
