Love on the Brain: From the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

Product Information

There's something about Ali Hazelwood's style, with its blend of snark and humor, that just completely has me in its thralls. Love on the Brain follows Bee, a neuroscientist who lives through asking “What would Marie Curie Do,” has just gotten the opportunity to work on a new collaborative project with NASA, a literal dream. Lol, I can be the exact same way sometimes, which made this book’s message so personal and beautiful to me.

The ending kind of took a weird turn into this action scene and I felt meh about that but I don't regret having read it! I believe replacing it with a scene about Levi opening up more or talking about himself more to understand better where he comes from could have provided a solid addition to get a different interpretation of him. But what if Levi is not the villain of this story and only thing he wants to do this accomplish their mission by working as equal colleagues. And, while we’re talking STEM rep—I’m no expert, but every time a female MC experiences sexism in the workplace, is it really the ‘STEMinist’ move to have her man be the one to swoop in and immediately fix everything for her?the few reasons this book isn’t getting a full 5 stars is because some of the writing did make my eye twitch but i’m not ready to unpack that. I was a bit disappointed in her STEMinist novella series but am hoping I’ll enjoy the next full-length installment from her! The sex scenes, while there are three instead of one, were still horrendous, giving second-hand embarrassment, and similar in terms of semantics and getting them there.

The whole book is low angst but friction-filled, with enemies to lovers vibes and tons of sexual tension.Still, there is so little personality on both of them that it feels like I don’t know either character well enough to form an opinion.
