I enjoyed this book a lot. The writing in it was witty and intelligent, and I loved Bee's personality. I also loved Levi. Their romance followed a pretty typical formula that was easy to predict but that didn't make it any less enjoyable.

Oh, my goodness!!! I loved this book sm. I think I might like it even more than The Love Hypothesis 🤭 

As a person who is OBSESSED with space, I loved all the nasa content (even if we didn't get to talk about constellations 😔✋🏻) and I just... I loved this book so much.

If you want a medium-slow paced romance with, what I would consider, sorta slow burn and just the perfect amount of spice, this book is for you! From the rivals to lovers trope, to all the cat content, to the loveable best friend, there is something for everyone to love in this book!

I definitely enjoyed Love Hypothesis more. The writing in this story was hard for me to follow. Bee’s character was adorable and a total badass. I loved her background and her admiration for the female scientists she referenced through the book. For the record, the romance was SO different from the first book. Maybe even better!

What can I say, I’m a sucker for Ali Hazelwood and her “STEMinist” novels. This is thoroughly cute and enjoyable. We do fall into the typical Hazelwood trap of “he’s SO HUGE” and “she’s so small” but at this point I’m used to it, it’s clearly her thing. The characters are quirky and I love them all, but Rocio stole my heart. I imagine her to be a scientist version of Aubrey Plaza. 

Now, I’ll say my same critique that I’ve said about nearly everything she’s written: I do not and will not ever understand why she feels the need to write about choosing unsafe sex. And this is in EVERY BOOK she writes. Not a single condom in sight. Not a single conversation about being tested. These people are scientists! It’s fiction, so whatever, but normalizing the “it’s okay, I’m on birth control” narrative is harmful. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

Amazing Ali Hazelwood is iconic and now a must read author for me. I love her books and how they focus on women in STEM. Love on the brain was amazing, Bee and Levi’s relationship from enemies to lovers immaculate and that plot twist oh my gosh I was so stressed while reading that

like dang it was Guy and when he had the gun like it was legit gonna kill her if it was for Féliciette.

It was written so wonderfully and I can’t wait to read her next book. 10/10 recommend
