He parks next to her and doesn’t always stay in the lines. He leaves his washing in the communal dryer too often. He smokes on his balcony and the smell comes in through her own balcony into her flat. He is a graduate student in a screenwriting program. Actually, that part was interesting to me because the criticism of her by her supervisor was both accurate and sexist.Įsther’s next-door neighbour is Jonathan.
However, it is pointed out in the book that when she is criticised for being “aggressive” at work, the same behaviour from the man would probably draw praise. She is up against sexism and the “boys club” at work. She works in a company which designs and builds satellites for commercial use. There was a romance and it did end in a HEA but it wasn’t as large a part of the book as I’d have liked.Įsther is an aerospace engineer (literally a rocket scientist). I think chick lit fits the book better as a descriptor than contemporary romance. It was amusing in places but either all of the humour did not work for me, or it wasn’t all that funny. I think that’s the new term for “chick lit”. Intermediate Thermodynamics is billed as a romantic comedy.
