How did I end up in a fake relationship with the gorgeous captain of the basketball team, Jett Bryant? Where do I start?  

I used to dream about kissing Jett, the adorable brown-eyed boy back in kindergarten. He was the pastor's son but that didn't stop me from tackling him on the playground and kissing him smack on the lips.       
  Fast-forward to senior year when Jett and I got partnered to research--of all things--The Chemistry of a Kiss. It had me thinking about those yummy lips of his, which was not good since I was dating bad boy TJ Reynolds.
            But then TJ kissed Jett's ex-girlfriend, causing me to break things off, and that's how the whole fake relationship between Jett and me began.
            Now, all the feelings I had for Jett over the years have come flooding back as we've spent time researching the kiss. We've even started exploring the chemistry of our own mind-blowing kisses while we "pretend" to like each other during our study dates.
            Things really get complicated when Jett starts cozying up to me when nobody's around to witness it. It seems like this whole fake relationship is turning into the real thing. But how can I be sure?

My Review: 5 Stars

Kimberly Krey has a way of writing that takes me back to my own high school years. If only I knew then what I know now...hah! Being a teenager is hard, especially when feelings get involved. Harper doesn't want to make the same mistakes as her mom, yet history has a way of repeating itself. She shows real maturity in recognizing things for what they're worth.

Harper's had a crush on Jett since kindergarten and now they're assigned partners in class and their topic is on the chemistry of a kiss. Can you imagine? Getting to research that topic with your crush would be a dream come true--especially if might want to practice what you read to see if this research holds true (wink, wink). In a make-my-ex-jealous battle, they find themselves in a fake relationship with real, smoldering embers, threatening to explode into a raging hot fire. The chemistry is swoon-worthy, yet sweet, and these characters are extremely likable.

I love a good story that explores young love and dips into realistic topics, yet stays fluffy and fun. Look no further if you want a light, summer escape! This is a great series, especially for teens and inner teens (like me) alike.

Content: mild+ (swoony) romance; very, very mild religion (he's a pastor's son)
