There's a thin line between love and hate. Maybe you're confusing your emotions.

I'm starting to hate books with double POVs. Because, usually, just one of them is interesting enough, which was the case with this book too. I've got mixed feelings about Perfect Chemistry. I did't loathe it, but didn't like it either. It was swimming in cliches, yet still engaging enough, in the beginning anyways. The first half was one creature, it was enjoyable and it had funny moments. The other half a completely different creature, oozing of drama and cheesiness.

I appreciated that the main characters were never said to be smarter than they seemed as possessed to Echo and Noah from Pushing the Limits. I liked Brittany a lot, I thought she was endearing. Well, up until she began dating Alex. After that she became a twat and I couldn't stand her anymore. Alex was ‘eh'. I just have a bone to pick with “bad boys”. I don't like'em. At least not the ones portrayed in the YA books I've read so far. To me, they're either too bland or too tacky. I hated the last chapters of the book, with all the amplified drama and corniness. And lets face it, almost no one changes or grows up that much fast.

Hated the ending. The way she forgave him, just like that, after the way he ended with her, was infuriating. Her rebellion against her parents was nullified. She became his doormat. What a load of BS.

Needless to say, I will not be picking up the companions.
