THIS IS MY BRAIN ON BOYS, by Sarah Strohmeyer

The story: Addie wants to put together the perfect experiment to nail down her scholarship to Harvard. Messing around with other peoples' brain chemicals in order to trigger a romantic attachment doesn't seem like such a big deal when she comes up with the idea, but when SHE ends up falling for bad boy Kris, all of a sudden it's a VERY big deal. Who knew?

NOT FOR THE BIG BOOK

June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG; Sexual content PG-13; Nudity PG; substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content PG; adult themes G; overall rating PG-13 (not so much because of content but because of an abundance of scientific talk that's totally over the heads of MS readers).

Liz's comments:
Meh. I like a good YA romance as much as the next person, but Addie's character was so stiff, humorless and clueless that I mostly felt bad for the boy who falls for her. (Although why he would makes it more of a mystery than a romance, in my book.) :P
