36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You by Vicki Grant

3.5

This is an adorable meet-cute based on a real psych study that author Vicki Grant was intrigued by, enough to imagine a few characters to go through it. Basically, Betty and Bob (not their real names) are test subjects in an experiment to see if certain kinds of get-to-know-you questions can bond people. For our main characters, Hildy and Paul, the questions were a rocky start, with both people coming to the study for different reasons and with problems in their past that they don't want to talk about. But the questions will dictate their discussion. It was a fast read and I enjoyed it; the repartee was quippy and witty. My biggest beef is that attending high school, much less doing all the things related to a senior year in high school, seems like an after thought for Hildy, and the author by extension. She leaves lunch one day to go do stuff and... there are strangers on campus, just randomly showing up. Those things were weird. But if I thought of Hildy as being a new adult, rather than a high school senior, things made more sense.
