Intermediate Thermodynamics
I will try and keep it with the least amount of spoilers possible.
Let's get started.
I read the first of the series a few weeks back, and it took me a minute to finish the second. Link to First book in Chemistry Lessons series
Now in the second book we meet an aerospace engineer whose name is Esther, and an aspiring screenwriter Jonathan. Now Jonathan was introduced to us as a hipster kind of man who was a lousy date who seemed to only talk about himself. But hipster Jonathan has a different side to him, he's a bit shy and he is sort of idealistic about his romance.
Esther is like Kat from 10 Things I Hate About You, not ashamed of who she is and shares her opinion loud and clear. She is absolutely annoyed by Jonathan and his smoking, his bad parking, his screenwriting...well, nearly everything the guy does seems to irk her. But she needs Jonathan in order for her plan to work, her best friend Jinny is in a bad relationship and Esther wants to get her friend to move on, so she uses Jonathan.
Unlike the first book in the series, I saw more of Esther's smarts rather than being told of how smart she is. I liked that about this book, though Esther was not entirely likable at first being friends with Jinny you get a deeper glimpse of who she is and why she is the way she is. Jinny and her have conversations, and even though Esther comes up with a lousy plan involving a man she can't stand but who helps her out too. With Jonathan she come out of her anti-social shell. She's not really a people person, and she is abrasive to the point of coming off as cold.
Jonathan was actually a decent guy, his smoking was a not cute, and when it came down to it he was more likable than Jeremy.
What I loved the most was that he made all the changes in his screenplay that Esther suggested, specially about the heroine who was every cliche bunched into one character.
Would I read this book again? Not really, but the characters are better developed and a lot more likable than Remedial Rocket Science.

The first time he saw the h he thought she was beautiful and planned a cute meet, instead he got an earful about his awful parking.

She tells him she wants him to ask out her best friend and in turn Jonathan who is uncomfortable with the idea reluctantly agrees, but only if Esther helps him with his sci-fi screen play. Esther unhappily agrees.
