Produktbeschreibung
Tom, a modestly-successful, highly self-loathing Edinburgh ghost writer is hired to pen the memoirs of the gorgeous and wildly popular TV soap actress Georgina Nye. While spending time with "George" to research the book, Tom falls hard for her charm, seemingly blind to what this could mean to his five-year relationship with Sara. Tom begins to manufacture excuses for his disappearances and panic attacks, and starts a series of lies guaranteed to ruin his relationship with Sara. By the time Tom and Georgia act upon their impulses, Tom has already abandoned the safety and sureness of his relationship with Sara, the private ideal that had attracted George's attention in the first place. Written with the same wordplay, wit, and character insight that made THINGS MY GIRLFRIEND AND I HAVE ARGUED ABOUT so memorable, A CERTAIN CHEMISTRY is a raucouus comedy of sexual misbehavior.
Brooding, self-loathing Tom Cartwright is a modestly successful ghostwriter whose ability to spell correctly and meet his deadlines has landed him the job of writing the autobiography of the wildly popular soap-opera star Georgina Nye. His imbibing, chain-smoking agent is swooning, and his offbeat, sweetly supportive live-in girlfriend of five years, Sara, is ecstatic—new carpets! Yet even as he feverishly pens (read: mostly makes up) Georgina's "straight-from-the-heart” life story (he's thinking maybe a thoughtful, feminist angle), he is lusting for Georgina herself. Soon Tom—poor, misguided, painfully careening Tom—thinks he can have it all: a woman at home who loves him, and a hot, panting affair with a television diva. With a little planning, can it really be so hard? In this clever, rollicking tale of sexual misadventures and the modern man, Mil Millington hilariously explores the sometimes foolish choices mere mortals can make when that certain chemistry forces us to think not with our heads or our hearts but with . . . well, things that usually lead us straight into serious trouble.
