The tension and their personalities is just amazing it's definitely going places. A psychology experiment serves as the impetus that drives decidedly opposite Hildy (our protagonist) and Paul (her love interest) together in this YA work by Vicki Grant.
As the book opens, straight-laced and stressed Hildy is being interviewed by a researcher for inclusion in a study aimed at determining whether two people can be made to feel an attachment to each other – aka, forced into a relationship – by posing and responding to a list of curated questions.
Hildy jumps at the chance to participate – because she wants to be in love – and heads off to a room to wait for a partner.
Then Paul arrives. He doesn’t allow the researcher to describe the study. He’s only there for the $40. He doesn’t give an F about…well…anything.
Put ‘em together and what do you get?
Well, if you’ve seen…or read…anything in the meet-cute, rom-com genre, you know the answer is instant attraction.
So, did it work?
Well, yes and no.
