Chemistry by Weike Wang

5.0

Though fast-moving and slim, "Chemistry" wrangles humor and heartbreak with stunning deftness. Don't let the title fool you — this isn't a typical rom-com with a scientist swapped in for the lead. I was continually surprised by what was revealed bit by bit about the narrator and her relationships. The language is absolutely enchanting. It's concise and memorable in all the right ways, without overstuffed adornment. The writer was taught by Amy Hempel, and you can see why the legend raved about this book. Pick it up and you'll be glad you did.
