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

Product Information

Also I wanna bring up a point I saw on another review on this book by Kat I think her name was. She brought up that in these books its all about women being independent and being a women in stem and not needing a man. And yeah I agree with that. But then the man is always there to get her out of a bad case of sexual harassment, which yup, i know its a romance novel and there's gonna be some saving but like, why cant she save herself. Or she could be going well and the guy comes in to 'assist' not to 'save her' per se. You know? I just think that that defeats the whole purpose of the novel. Ustedes saben que quedé OBSESIONADA con lo que escribe Ali Hazelwood después de que leí The Love Hypothesis y se convirtió en uno de los mejores libros de mi año. Ahora, un tiempo después, llega Love on the Brain y cumple TODAS las expectativas que tenía. Es hermoso, feel-good y tiene una gran dosis de “nos conocemos, pienso que me odias, nos fuerzan a trabajar juntos, hay tensión, nos volvemos sex buddies, creo que no significa nada, pero en el fondo siempre hemos estado enamorados y lo disfrazamos con mala comunicación y odio falso”.

AND GUESS WHAT MY FRIENDS WE GOT LESBIANS IN A STEM NOVEL WITH GRUMPY SUNSHINE 'ENEMIES TO LOVERS' AND GUY OBSESSED WITH GIRL WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO WANT???Most of the book was talking about this BLINK project they have for NASA. It was actually a pretty cool project, but I'm here to rant so you may read about it elsewhere.

Still, the coupling of Bee and Levi was a fun one. Of course due to their previous interactions, Bee would assume that Levi hates her. And of course she'd be slow to figure it out, resulting in rather funny misunderstandings between them. However, I can totally see the pitchforks coming out for this couple—how it's completely unrealistic, how there's no way it would take her this long to come to her senses. I mean, sure, it's unrealistic, but that feels like the entire romance genre to me. It always necessitates a certain suspension of disbelief to enjoy, which totally worked for me here. Your mileage may vary. Which is why I was so damn excited by The Love Hypothesis. A book that made me...feel things??? Things that weren't rage and masochistic tendencies and a desire to throw a book-shaped object at a wall??? And there were so many puns! Science puns, cat puns, Marie Curie puns. I love me a good pun (or a bad one, I'm not that discerning), so I was in pun-heaven.

The two have good chemistry and they're cute together BUT sadly, they could not create the magic that Adam and Olive created. Here’s my favorite piece of trivia in the whole world: Dr. Marie Skłodowska-Curie showed up to her wedding ceremony wearing her lab gown. In terms of the romance itself, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite thing about this book. I found the transition from we're-frenemies to we're-getting-it-on to be a bit sudden. It seemed like they were solidly in the former category, and then all of a sudden, they were in the latter category. I guess I wanted more of a slow progression and steamy anticipation than what I got. Even though I didn't LOVEEE The Love Hypothesis I did enjoy it overall even though there were some aspects I didn't like (the over-the-top SA storyline for one) and I especially liked how fun it was to read. Whenever I want a sexy, witty, delicious romance, told in a fresh and intelligent voice, I read Ali Hazelwood. Prepare to get addicted. Each book is pure joy.” —Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author

Hopelessly, brilliantly, wonderfully romantic. I loved it even more than The Love Hypothesis, and I didn't think that was possible' Cressida McLaughlin Special thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for sharing this amazing, one of the most anticipated books’ arc copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts. but this book gives me all the fuzzy feelings as a women in stem so i am willing to ignore all of them. if you took a shot everyone time bee mentioned levi’s size, you would be dead from alcohol poisoning. Oh, that romance. If one could even call it that. LITERALLY ALL OF THE TENSION WAS A SERIES OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

Success!

The miscommunication trope was better handled in this book because the character’s pain and hurt was drawn neatly to our attention from the very beginning; which is a really smart thing to do to give the writing/trope a lot of cushion to unfold. Additionally, there are two things: one, the character seems to unconsciously work outside the influence of the trope even though they delude themselves with the miscommunication and two, the book also doesn’t drag the trope along once the trope the miscommunication is broken.

Il profilo @WhatwouldMarieCuriedo? diventa allora un 'luogo' di sfogo e supporto, una crescita che Bee mai si sarebbe aspettata, hanno scritto articoli sul suo profilo, interviste (anonime, ovviamente, nessuno sa chi c'è dietro). Add to this fact that we have to spend the end of this book allowing the author to delude herself into thinking that she can write action sequences, and also that that is in any way what we are here for...Love on the Brain is an addictive, adorable, and swoon-worthy read. It took everything I loved in The Love Hypothesis (nerdy and relatable characters, a STEM setting, cute romance, and great banter) and added even more. This allowed a better building of their relationship in my opinion. Usually you spend so much time just trying to have characters actually communicate with one another, it can get frustrating. I didn't really feel that here. It felt like just the right amount to build tension without causing annoyance. I can give you nice. I can give you better than nice. I can give you everything.” He smiles at me, full of hope “You don’t even have to admit to yourself that you love me, Bee. God knows I love you enough for the both of us."
