The Proximity Factor

So . . . I signed up for something. Not a gym or Costco membership, which probably would have been wiser. Oh no, I signed up for a social experiment. You heard me right. I, Lanie Davenport, am going to be the subject of a scientific study. Do I know what this study is for? Not exactly. But I know it means I have to live with a stranger for twelve weeks and do a video diary once a week, answering the researchers’ questions. The bright side is that I’m getting paid, like a lot of money. The downside is that my roommate isn’t a woman like I supposed. I thought I would get a new BFF, but in her place is one Parker Remington. Mr. broody-leave-the-toilet-seat-up-don’t-talk-to-me-or-organize-my-Pop-Tarts-in-the-pantry. You get the picture.

But this I can’t have. I don’t know what this experiment is about, but I’m going to save it and make a difference in the world. And whether Parker likes it or not, he’s going to help me. Well, maybe. He’s a tough nut to crack, and I should probably leave well enough alone. But there’s just something about my gorgeous, older, genius-level roommate that makes me want to find out what makes him tick. I have a feeling if he would let me into his world, it would change mine.

But experimenting with the heart is the most dangerous research around. You never know what the outcome will be.

Delightful!

Came here so Stephen Dexter could tickle my ears for a while and was delighted by a fun, warm story. Nice to have one that spoke to the different types of intimacy and then showed the characters building it. I laughed and even got a tear!

One of my favorites

Loved the male narrators voice. The story was really sweet and touching. It was deeper than I expected. I will look for other books by the author!

This story is about throw pillows mostly!

How they needed to interact more often. They should have put more action in it.

Cute cute story!

Adorable story line! Cute ending as well! I just wish that the narrator had a natural southern accent. Also, didn’t quite like the fact that the “southern belle” stigma was very “Reese Witherspoon, Dolly Parton, Sweet Tea, and football”. I feel like that portion was very stereotypical.

Super cute

Grumpy sunshine and obviously forced proximity. It was so fun and light hearted while also gracefully addressing real life topics. It’s was such a nice read and the narrators were perfect for the characters.
