In The Chemist, our main character, currently known as “Alex” lives her life on the run from the government and her former employer, who keeps trying to kill her over information she knows. I’m a sucker for movies and stories like Jason Bourne, Snowden (okay, that one’s real, so very creepy), etc. The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer (yes, that one, no, this is nothing like Twilight), brings all the crazy government/spy/black-ops/surveillance themes and…I honestly love it. I am one of those people who copes with a world-wide pandemic, not by reading lots of romance and watching lovely fluffy rom-coms, but by reading dystopian-esque and thriller novels and watching movies like Zombieland and Contagion (the latter of which is seriously an amazing movie to understand the gravity of what’s happening – I’ve read about the research put into that film, and there is a reason it feels so reflective of reality).Īnyway, my latest book choice, while not dystopian, definitely isn’t fluffy, either.
