I enjoyed this book but not as much as I did "The Love Hypothesis". I believe this was definitely more of a character driven book with plenty of sex scenes. The characters were enjoyable but how the relationship was growing between the two love interest was not my personal favorite. However, near the end it changed in a good way. There was a scene near the end that definitely caught me by surprise and had me on the edge. It was indeed a happy ending that I was hoping for. I also enjoyed the sex scenes a lot! A lot more forward with it unlike the "shy guy" kind of personality the first book had.

There are at least 3 actual sex scenes in the book. Bits and pieces of sexual talk or fantasizing kind of thing going on.kaylurzz's review

I was willing to look past the galaxy leggings but the terrible gun wielding villain turn in the 3rd act was enough to make me want to make me throw my phone across the room.

Ali Hazelwood got me again with another cute and fluffy STEM rom-com and honestly, I'm here for every second of it. Bee and Levi's story was so adorable. She was so convinced that he hated her and was out to ruin her career when in reality he's been pining for her for years and honestly, I was EATING IT UP. Once she finally starts to realize that her perspective on his actions are not what she thinks and starts seeing him for who he truly is, my heart was exploding. Also, the ending? WOAH. Wasn't expecting that at all and I was here for the plot twist.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood is about Bee, who got a job at NASA as a neuroscientist. But her excitement is tempered, when she hears that she has to work with Levi, who despises her. When strange things happen at the lab, Levi steps up and helps Bee. Soon they both realise that they have a lot in common.
After already loving some of Ali Hazelwood's book, I was excited to get my hands on this book. I absolutely love to read about women in STEM. You can see that Ali Hazelwood writes from own experiences. The short author's note at the end of the book gives insights in why the topics addressed in the book are important to the author. I love that. As a going-to-be teacher I share Hazelwood's opinion on standardised tests. I loved the movement that was started in the book.
At the moment, I am fully into enemies-to-lovers books. I can't get enough of them. I immediately fell in love with Bee's style. The hair colour, her clothes - she's a legend. She faces a lot of struggles. Being a woman in STEM is not easy at all. I love how calm she remained when faced with misogynistic comments. I probably would have exploded. Levi gives Bee a lot of credit and defends her if needed. Both did not have the best start, which mostly was because of miscommunication. Their chemistry was okay. I honestly hoped for more. I also expected more spice. Most side characters did not grab my attention. I would have loved to read more about Lily and Penny. They are the sweetest.
This book was not as good as the other two books I read by Ali Hazelwood, but I enjoyed it a lot. I read it in one go. I started the book at midnight, only wanting to read one chapter. The next time I was checking the clock it was past three in the morning. Well, I did not get a lot of sleep, but it was worth it. Can't wait to read more books by Ali Hazelwood!

Amazing, I loved it, I adored it. It's even better than The Love Hypothesis.
Bee is the funniest, smartest, most idiotic and interesting woman ever!
Bee is the funniest, smartest, most idiotic and interesting woman ever!
And Levi? Oh my God, Levi! Smart, funny, cute, sexy, passionate. I mean, the man is a goddamned unicorn! He truly is the greatest Cute Sexy Handsome Guy ever!
I had a friend told me that she cried while reading this book because she realized that no one will ever love her as much as Levi loves Bee. And girl... same. Fucking hell, Levi just ruined everything, he had to go and be so perfect and now I will never settle for less so of course I'll end up living my best life with my cats and my vibrator.
Oh well, not everyone can be God's favorite like Bee.
Who else could have the best, most loving man adoring her every everything, living the life of her dreams and having the most amazing, hottest, loveliest sex ever?
On a totally unrelated topic, science man! So interesting! And the Marie Curie references had me hooked. Bee's quirks and useless parasympathetic nervous system were the best ever.
Every single character was so likeable and engaging! Except Tim. Fuck Tim. And, honestly? Bee is a better person than me because I still think Annie can go fuck herself. But then again, there's a reason I'm not God's favorite.
I can't wait to read more from this author.
