Attraction (Hypothesis, #1) (Elements of Chemistry, #1)

by Penny Reid

He is everything she doesn’t want, so why does she want him so badly?
From the New York Times Bestselling Author Penny Reid

One week.
Private beach.
Invisible girl.
Jerk-faced bully.
What’s the worst that could happen?

Kaitlyn Parker has no problem being the invisible girl, which is why she finds herself hiding in various cabinets and closets all over her college campus. Despite her best efforts, she can’t escape the notice of Martin Sandeke—bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor—who also happens to be Kaitlyn’s chemistry lab partner.
Kaitlyn might be the only girl who isn’t interested in exploiting his stunning rower’s build, chiseled features, and family’s billionaire fortune. Kaitlyn wants Martin for his brain, specifically to tabulate findings of trace elements in surface water.

When Kaitlyn saves Martin from a nefarious plot, Martin uses the opportunity to push Kaitlyn out of her comfort zone: spring break, one week, house parties, bathing suits, and suntan lotion. Can she overcome her aversion to being noticed? Will he be able grow beyond his self-centered nature? Or, despite their obvious chemistry, will Martin be the one to drive Kaitlyn into the science cabinet of obscurity for good?

I loved this book! Kaitlyn is such a great character-she is smart and honest and cares about being a good person. In a world surrounded by people who don't value those things, she manages to be true to herself and its amazing. Martin is growing on me...like a fungus perhaps. I am not sure how I feel about him. But, I love Ray! What an awesome friend. Maybe she will ditch Martin and get with Ray! ;) On to book 2!
