Description

Can't Beat the Chemistry is an intriguing tale of academics clashing with matters of the heart.

Ionic and covalent bonds are a piece of cake for MJ. But human bonds are a little harder to master...

There are only two things MJ wants in her final year of high school: glowing grades and to convince uber-smart, chiselled-jaw Jason that they’d be a winning team outside the science lab as well as in.

Tutoring deadbeat drummer, Luke, isn’t part of the plan. After all, he has average intelligence, takes disorganised notes, and resembles a partied-out zombie at their study sessions! Not even his taut biceps will win MJ over.

However, MJ learns that she could be tutored in a few life lessons too: that sometimes there’s good reason to skip chemistry tutorials, that intelligence is so much more than a grade average, and that sometimes you can’t beat the chemistry.
