The Chemistry Test

📚 Why We Recommend It

Penny’s world isn’t just defined by textbooks and lab coats—it’s a vibrant, unapologetic celebration of resilience, wrapped in the sweet chaos of college life. When she rolls into biochemistry class with her sleek wheelchair and a mind sharper than a scalpel, she’s not just chasing a degree; she’s rewriting the script for what “normal” looks like.

Then there’s CJ: charming, a little chaotic, and utterly captivated by the way Penny lights up when she talks about molecular structures. Their connection? It’s less like a carefully controlled experiment and more like a chemical reaction—unpredictable, fiery, and impossible to ignore. As they navigate late-night study sessions and awkward cafeteria encounters, Penny learns that letting someone in isn’t a failure of strength, but a testament to it.

Georgina Frankie weaves a story that’s equal parts heart and humor, where chronic illness isn’t a plot twist but a natural part of Penny’s brilliant, messy life. For anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t fit the “rom-com mold,” The Chemistry Test is a joyous reminder: love, like science, thrives on curiosity—and sometimes, the best discoveries happen when you least expect them.
