The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer
5.0
I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK.
I went into it a little wary just because it was Stephenie Meyer. I mean, I love [b:Twilight|41865|Twilight (Twilight, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1361039443s/41865.jpg|3212258].... but in a guilty pleasure type of way. I don't try to fool myself into thinking it was written brilliantly or that it was clever. I just knew Stephenie Meyer was a good storyteller. I also enjoyed [b:The Host|1656001|The Host (The Host, #1)|Stephenie Meyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1318009171s/1656001.jpg|3328799], which I thought was written better than the Twilight series, but still wasn't super clever....and by the description of [b:The Chemist|32940867|The Chemist|Stephenie Meyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1494338235s/32940867.jpg|51814255], I knew that to be successful, Meyer would have to step up her game.
And she did. The Chemist was so smart. There are so many twists and turns that I didn't see coming, wouldn't even have imagined coming. (Well, except one...) There was so much more knowledge and detail that I wouldn't have expected from her.
I really have to commend Stephenie Meyer on this piece. It was fantastic.

We all knew that Daniel being a mirror twin where all his organs were on the wrong side wasn't just a fun random bit of trivia she threw in, right?I really have to commend Stephenie Meyer on this piece. It was fantastic.
