Love and Other Dangerous Chemicals - Softcover

Warm, smart and very funny... A brilliant (scientific) formula * Matt Beaumont, author of E * A delight of a book, a perfect mix of gentle satire, science, and modern romance * Blogcritics.org * A sparkling romantic comedy with some of the most original courting scenes since Leander swam the Hellespont for Hero and the funniest description of an orgasm since the classic Meg Ryan scene in When Harry Met Sally * Library Journal * 'Fabulously uplifting, romantic and original. Love and Other Dangerous Chemicals fizzes with humour and great dialogue from characters that are delightfully flawed. In case you can't tell, I loved it.' -- Jane Costello

When a gorgeous girl and a brainy boy experiment, sparks will fly... An original and very funny romantic comedy from the bestselling author of The Food of Love. Dr Steven J. Fisher is a young and brilliant biochemist (special subject: the female orgasm). He's invented a Viagra-like pill for women - now he just needs his results to be perfect. Annie is an orgasmically-challenged arts student (special subject: Victorian semicolons). She's just volunteered to be one of Fisher's case studies - but for some reason his miracle treatment isn't working. As scientist and subject bond over romantic meals lit by the flickering glow of a Bunsen burner, Dr Fisher is surprised to find his feelings taking a most unscientifc turn... ...what if love is one thing science can't explain?
