What do you get when you mix a female born on March 14th, loves math, is clumsy, and loved by her family and best friend? You get Peyton, nicknamed Pi, of course. Add a dash of a bad break up and you get someone who doesn’t trust when love might find its way into her heart. Peyton’s life might not be perfect, but it is wonderful and routine. She has her career as a mathematics professor, a best friend she has known since college, parents and a brother she is close to, and free time to enjoy peace. That is until the summer day Peyton accompanies her brother to a gala holding a date auction fundraiser. She is instantly attracted to someone up for bid, but is shocked when her brother bids on the individual for himself. They had never liked the same person before. Now what? Misunderstandings, dates involving medical attention, spiteful strangers, and a myriad of other encounters leaves Peyton, a woman who lives her life by the numbers, in the throes of chaos. Who knew one little fundraiser would have such an impact on a math professor’s life?
About: Petyon is just your average klutzy girl. She loves all things numbers. She has an amazing family and best friend to entertain her. She loves her job as a math professor at a local college. She thinks that she has everything she could want in life. Until Nikola walks in. Everything changes as she knows it. Plot: I really enjoyed the plot. I really felt like I was in Peyton's head. There were times I felt like I was actually Peyton. I'm not used to getting sucked into a book as much as I was this one. I also don't get nearly as gushy about books as I did this one. It was really well written. Especially for this being the author's very first book. I'm looking forward to seeing the books she comes out with in the future. Characters: Peyton is just so adorable! She's really relatable. Especially for many of us nerds out there. I really liked Nikola as well. She seemed like a really intuitive individual. Simone and Petyon have this amazing dynamic as best friends. I would have liked to see more of Simone in the story. I would have also liked to see more of Damion, Peyton's brother. Suggestions: More Damion, More scenes needed to be elaborated a bit more. Other than that, this book is really fantastic. Recommend: I really do recommend this book. It's LGBTQ friendly. Don't take my word for it! See for yourself!
This book might have hit a little too close to home for me! I loved the awkward, klutzy, and nerdy main character. Not the usual for a leading lady and it was quite refreshing. Wish we got a bit more insight into Nikola but all in all this was a fun read! Quirky characters and families always get me!
I really enjoyed this debut novel by RK Phillips. I enjoyed the characters and the story. It was fun (and a bit of an adventure) stepping into Peyton (Pi)'s life. I look forward to more stories about her and Nikola's life together.
I absolutely love this book!!! It is one of my all time favorite books! Such a sweet story and how the author is able to set a scene!!! WOW!!! I felt like I was living it the whole time!!!! Felt it to my soul!
