I received a PDF copy of Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Lee Alexander from Entangled publishing house for review. I had never read anything by Shannon Lee Alexander before and was very excited to try something new. (Thank you).
Charlie Hanson
has a clear vision of his future. He knows he’ll go collage at MIT, and
inevitably discover solutions to the universe’s greatest unanswered questions.
He’s that smart. But Charlie’s future blurs the moment he reaches out to touch
the tattoo on a beautiful girl’s neck. The future has never seemed very kind to Charlotte Finch, so she’s
counting on the present. She’s not impressed by the strange boy at the donut
shop—until she learns he’s a student at Brighton where her sister has just
taken a job as the English teacher. With her encouragement, Charlie
orchestrates the most effective prank campaign in Brighton history. But, in
doing so, he puts his own future in jeopardy. By the time he learns she's
ill, Charlotte’s gravitational pull is too great to overcome. Soon he must choose
between the familiar formulas he’s always relied on or the girl he’s falling
for (at far more than 32 feet per second squared).
This book was brilliant, I barely
have a bad thing to say about it. The characters were great. Charlie: nerdy and
ambitious, who focuses on circles and
theorems and equations. And his love interest Charlotte. I loved the way
that they interacted with each other and their chemistry was wonderful.
This book
started off as your usual teen love story and then BAM. I can’t say much about
the story because of spoilers but I can reveal that it is an amazing book. It
is vaguely The Fault in Our Stars-esque but is good in its own way. Be
prepared, this book will make you laugh, cry and everything else in between.
