LoveReading Says

In order to secure healthcare for her ailing mother from the leading expert, leaving behind her career and dumping her boyfriend, Hadley moves with her mother to California. Hadley takes on a new job as a professor of music. Living in the faculty housing since her mother insists on living separately, Hadley discovers that her new neighbour is none other than the renowned scientist Dr. Alexsander Strovinski. In contrast to Hadley’s funny and outgoing demeanour, Lex is quiet and brooding, and no matter how much she tries to break through his tough exterior, she is convinced he does not like her. If things weren’t already challenging enough, when they finally start dating, Hadley’s mother gets dire news regarding her treatment and Lex’s job takes him overseas, putting their bond to the test. The banter in The Scientist by Kristen B. Cole is unmatched! Hadley always has the perfect witty comment and I found myself laughing out loud several times. Hadley’s character is someone I would love to be friends with in real life. Her sassy nature paired with Lex’s grumpy, withdrawn demeanour is reminiscent of Jane Austen’s Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. The side characters are well-developed, especially Hadley’s mother and Lex’s roommate. As a reader, I struggle to find romantic comedies that are genuinely funny, but the wicked wit in The Scientist has made it the best romcom I have ever read. Approaching difficult subjects with heart-warming sensitivity, for a debut novel, this book is impressively well-written, impactful, and emotional.
