“Off the Charts Chemistry” is a romance book by Christine Miles. I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, it’s a romance - so one knows how it’s going to end. There is often comfort in familiarity. For some, the bit of “sexy time” will be enjoyable. I liked that this was about two teachers and it was pretty obvious that they were adults. I had some minor quibbles - such as the fact that while our heroine is a chemistry teacher, the “chemistry” referred to in the title is more about her chemistry (and chemical reaction!) to the new football coach. I’m really not a fan of insta-lust. Additionally, and this must be one of the most minor nits on the planet, I don’t know how - after watching one football game - even with a knowledgable and fantastic teacher - that one would automatically absorb all the football knowledge they imparted - and recall it to impart to others. The last bit about the football player, I thought, seemed a bit odd; it bugged me how neatly tied up that storyline was presented. Overall, this was probably a 3.5 star read - it did provide diversion from my life, it was a quick read, and it did hold my attention for the overall storyline.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was fast and it was fun.
Stacey is a chemistry teacher who really loves teaching chemistry.
Reece is the school's new football coach who's trying to save their team.
But not everybody's happy with him being the school's new coach.
This book shows that school drama doesn't stop when people are adults. But it also portrays how two people can meet and fall in love with each other. And they are being supportive and they genuinely care for each other.

Such a cute book! I really loved how it felt so normal, two people meet, date, and fall in love. It wasn't trying to hard to be something it wasn't and was done well. The characters were so sweet, easy to imagine and follow through their stories. I loved how swoony Reece was, my heart ached for him as we learned about his injury and failed relationships. Stacey was a great counterpart to him, a little shy but super sweet and easy to fall for herself. I liked how she found her confidence throughout the story and loved her friendship group as well. I really enjoyed this book and the author's writing. There were parts that were extra cheesy and could feel a bit cringey for me, but overall very enjoyable and easy to read.

It seems high school drama isn't only for the students when the hot new head coach arrives at the school, much to the disappointment of many.

This book was so cute! Funny, heart-warming and hot! The spice was tame but fit well into the story.

The drama of the school took priority and removed the typical 80% break-up which I greatly appreciated. I loved seeing how their relationship blossomed over their few dates but it was clear their chemistry was Off-The-Charts from their first (unfortunate) meeting.

The ending of the book tied everything together perfectly! I look forward to reading the next in the series!
