Experimental Marine Biology
Experimental Marine Biology: A Romantic Comedy | Susannah Nix
4 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
"Just friends" is all Brooke and Dylan have ever been. (Except for that one night in high school, but they don't talk about that.) Growing up, he was her protector. Her confidante. The one guy she could always trust. Now she's a marine biologist working toward her PhD in California, and he's an underwear model in New York. Dylan's only in town for a few days, crashing on Brooke's couch and repaying the favor by acting as her date to a friend's wedding. It was totally an accident she saw him naked. After that, "just friends" goes out the window in favor of friends with benefits. It's all going great...until it isn't. Dylan's got a ticket back to New York at the end of the week, and Brooke may have accidentally broken his heart. Can they navigate these uncharted relationship waters? Or has she tanked her oldest friendship?

This was all fluff on top with a little dose of some serious stuff underneath. Brooke is a doctoral candidate working on the ear wax of whales. She gets a surprising phone call from her best friend, Dylan, ex-nerd now underwear model asking if he can stay with her a week. This was so funny, and had some humor that made me think of Kristen Wiig. But the test for me with every romance is if it can make the teddy bear marshmallow that I am cry.......

Reggie And it did. A perfect, one sitting, on a rainy, Friday night, romantic comedy pick! 4y
Tanisha_A Aw! By the way, I binge watched Normal people y'day and it is sooo good. Have you seen yet? 4y
Reggie @Tanisha_A I can‘t. Lol, I cannot put myself through that. The end of that book had me deep in my feelings. Just like I will never watch Call Me By Your Name the movie. 4y

Tanisha_A @Reggie I understand. 🙂 Call me by your name 😭! But the soundtrack, oh sooo good. 4y
Lindy Ear wax of whales... 😂 4y
Rissreads @Tanisha_A @Reggie Yes the soundtrack is so good! I loved the movie even though it destroyed my heart! ❤️ 4y
Tanisha_A Same @Rissreads ! Also, particularly after watching that it's my dream to just bike in the bylanes of an Italian town and eat ice-cream in the summer. 4y
MicheleinPhilly @Tanisha_A @Reggie I just finished Normal People this morning. I limited myself to 2 episodes a day so I wouldn‘t have a complete breakdown. It‘s amazing! 4y
Reggie @Lindy one of my quibbles with her first book in the series is that even though she says the series says featuring females strong in STEM, I thought we‘d get a little of Weike Wang Chemistry action, but no, all we got is that Penny is a chemist and that‘s it. So to have the first couple pages be about whale ear wax and how you tell a lot about a whales life from the earwax was refreshing. Lol 🐳 4y
Reggie @Tanisha_A @Rissreads I will check out the soundtrack. 4y
Reggie @MicheleinPhilly just tell me. Do they end up together. Does he leave her for NYC? Lol . I had to tell myself that he doesn‘t go and he stays with her so I can sleep at night. But in my dark heart of hearts he goes, finds a girl, gets married and when bringing the wife to meet the mom, he tries to see her but she says no, knowing it is best for him. 😭 (edited) 4y
Tanisha_A @Reggie Dudeeeee 😭 4y
Suet624 @MicheleinPhilly I did the same thing. Two a night. It was almost better than the book. 4y
MicheleinPhilly Here you go Reggie: https://youtu.be/kixBBA9xCf0 No spoilers for the show, I promise. 4y
MicheleinPhilly @Tanisha_A I was dying. There is also one with Hot Priest from Fleabag. 4y
Tanisha_A @MicheleinPhilly I died too. Oh my god, I loved Fleabag. Now have to check that parody, on it. Thanks 😁 4y
Reggie @MicheleinPhilly Lololol the confession with Hot Priest. 4y
MicheleinPhilly @Reggie I watched it 3 times in a row. I was howling. 😂 4y

🎵 Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling
So kiss me🎵

ravenlee Is it weird that I got the movie right away, before I read the post, just because I recognized those shoes? 4y
Megabooks Yesssss!!! 4y
Reggie @ravenlee Lol, every time I read that the nerd goes from not to hot I think of this stairway scene, so maybe not? 🤷🏽‍♂️ 4y

I hit the mother load of #bookmail last night as things that have been stuck other places have finally started to arrive. This was one I won on goodreads. Looks cute. I do like the color combination on the cover. And it‘s pretty short so that is a bonus.

Reggie Oh, I‘ve actually read the other 4 in this series. I should pick this up. Thanks for the post! 4y
LibrarianRyan @Reggie Didn't know it was a series. thanks !! 4y
