Love on the Brain

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

A #1 LibraryReads and Indie Next Pick!

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis--with explosive results.

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project--a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia--Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school--archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.

Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps it's her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas...devouring her with those eyes. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

Rounding up from about 3.75 - but this was just really cute. I liked the Love Hypothesis, but I honestly think I liked this one a little more. Levi and Bee together were just really adorable nerds and I liked their dynamic. I'm a huge sucker for the "I've been pining for you for years in secret" thing, so I guess it fell right into the right slots for me to enjoy it.

I loved this book so much even with the mature content I was able to use the themes of the book for a school project. Great representation of the stem field for women, but this book did something I don't see often it highlighted MEN and there emotions and it was amazing to see and I think Ali Hazelwood really put thought into this book

Another STEM-romance I LOVED. Engineer, Dr. Levi Ward and neuroscientist, Dr. Bee Königswasser fall in love working on the same project as co-leaders. BRILLIANT.

Also want to say that I love how Hazelwood writes men who adore their women??? The epitome of "man written by a woman". Thank you, that's it.
