Excerpt from The Chemist

I hope you enjoyed my Canada Day post. And if you live in Canada or the US, I hope you enjoyed Canada Day and/or Independence Day. Things are different this year. We live in challenging times.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

This isn’t my first time reading The Chemist, by Stephanie Meyer, but I don’t remember a lot of it from the first time, and I am enjoying it quite a bit. I didn’t remember there were so many great tongue-in-cheek comments and dry humour. Alex is a great character and there is a lot of… chemistry… between her and Kevin.

A fun read, lots of action and excitement, and unique new characters. I didn’t remember that there was a plot about a virus — a weaponized flu virus that is expected to kill 1.0 million people in the US. That brought things close to home!

A person who will sell out his partner always sees the partner as plotting in exactly the same way. Dishonest people don’t believe honest people exist.
