CHEMISTRY LESSONS

Lesa Wilson narrates this debut audiobook featuring a teen romance. The summer before college brings several surprises for Maya, a science whiz. When her boyfriend breaks up with her, she is determined to get him back using the experiment her mother, a science researcher, was carrying out before she passed away. Can science provide a formula for love? Wilson has a pleasant voice, and her use of inflection adds a dramatic flair to her narration. In her portrayal of Maya, Wilson captures the character's personality and teenage angst; however, the use of undifferentiated character voices--regardless of gender, age, or geographic origin--makes conversations confusing to the listener.
