College student Melody Gage is craving a night of no-strings fun when she meets charming out-of-towner Jeremy, and that's exactly what she gets. Until three years later, when Melody relocates to Los Angeles and finds herself thrust back into Jeremy's orbit.
Not only does her hunky one-night stand work at the same aerospace company where she's just started her dream job, he's the CEO's son. Jeremy's got a girlfriend and a reputation as a bad boy, so Melody resolves to keep her distance. Despite her good intentions, a series of awkward circumstances - including an embarrassing crying jag, a latte vs. computer catastrophe, and an emergency fake date - throw her together with the heavenly-smelling paragon of hotness.
As the billionaire playboy and geeky IT girl forge an unlikely friendship, Melody's attraction to Jeremy grows deeper than she's ready to admit. How much will she risk for a shot at her happy ending?
Contains mature themes.

Hear from the Author
"I’m a huge fan of slow burn romances, and Remedial Rocket Science is an opposites attract love story four years in the making. Like almost every hero I write, Jeremy isn’t exactly what he seems at first glance. When shy computer nerd Melody finds out about his playboy past, it takes a lot of work for him to earn her trust again. One of my favorite things to do is peel back the layers of a character to reveal the squishy, vulnerable center underneath the surface. I loved writing Jeremy’s journey to overcome his past and become a better man—one who’s worthy of this smart, strong woman he can’t stop thinking about. Ultimately, it’s a story about redemption, forgiveness, and finding your soul mate. I hope you love Remedial Rocket Science as much as I loved writing it."

The biggest drawback is how slowly the story moves, which is ironic, considering the not inconsiderable duration of time spanned from start to finish (it's not a whirlwind insta-romance) AND the aforementioned subplots left unexplored. Despite all the plot fodder, the author instead chose to ignore all the interesting rabbit holes, and simply filled the pages with mundanity and the devleopment of non-romantic relationships with side characters, which were never quite meaningful enough to justify the time dedicated to them. I can only presume the author was aiming for a slowburn romance, but, if so, she missed the mark; there is a distinct difference between a slowburn romance and a romance that is so protracted as to be virutually nonexistent.
The characters aren't unlikeable, but they both border on being lackluster more often than not. In terms of being compelling or fascinating, both main characters pretty much peak in the first chapter or two (of note, the confidence and/or initiative of one or both of the characters at their first meeting is markedly absent throughout the rest of the story...where did it go???). Jeremy probably had more potential than Melody. While she wasn't completely unsalvageable, she was just a touch too bland, a little too passionless, for me to love her (so why would I expect the hero to love her?). And, if the character who is the conduit by whom I experience the romance is not overly passionate, then it follows that I, too, felt little passion in this romance.
I did feel a sense of anticipation throughout, because I kept thinking 'when exactly is this romance going to deal with the two main characters actually interacting significantly, let alone falling in love?!?', but I wouldn't go so far as to call that sensation longing. And when the story finally...FINALLY!...focuses on their romance, it doesn't feel profound, or as if I were holding my breath all along, just waiting for this moment to come. No, I just felt like at least 50% (a conservative estimate) of everything that occurred between the beginning of the story and the end could easily have been cut, and it would not have had a significant impact on the plot.
My overall impression of this author is that she is a good writer, but not a good storyteller. Also, I really believe this story should have been written in first person, particularly as the story is entirely from the heroine's perspective anyway. Perhaps the first person perspective would have lent an intimacy between the reader and heroine that would make the reader feel more invested in the heroine's life and fate; at the very least, it would have justified the amount of the story we readers were forced to spend in Melody's uninspiring head. And where the heck was the comedy? Did I miss it? I don't recall laughing -- or even cracking a smile -- once.

Maybe it's the used up plotline of "pretend to be my boyfriend/girlfriend" and naive person meets player.
I had a hard time finishing this book.
I didn't root for anyone but the lesbian. The characters fell flat, their plights fell flat.

Fans of Penny Reid and Helen Hoang will enjoy it (with fewer hot scenes).

If you could sum up Remedial Rocket Science in three words, what would they be?
Delightful, entertaining, happy-making.What did you like best about this story?
I love how the relationship between Melody and Lacey were turned on their head. The romance between Melody and Jeromy is obviously the main course but, I love how much Nix values female friendships.What about Caitlin Kelly’s performance did you like?
She's just so easy to listen to. Most performers have quirks that end up driving me batty by the end of the story but so I found most of Kelly's choices spot on and lovely.Any additional comments?
Listen to this lovely little book. You won't regret it. And then get the second one when the audiobook drops at the end of February. I'm so stoked about that one, too!I adore this story and strong performance!
