I LOVED this book!! Had so much fun listening to their story! Wasn’t expecting that ending at ALL!
Cute enemies to lovers story, some cat content (literally), office romance, smarty pants. As a current PhD student I also really appreciated the content against GRE! Super enjoyable(sorta predictable) and the steam *chef’s kiss* 🥵!
Wish we got a little more of Levi’s backstory. Honestly would read another book about these two characters!
Definitely will be reading more Ali Hazelwood!

Love on the Brain was a fun and sweet read for me, it’s an enjoyable read for me even though some parts of this book feels very similar to the previous book – The Love Hypothesis.
It’s like a different story but the characters are pretty much the same with different names.
This book is very well written about women’s place in STEM, I can relate to some of them. The humor is also on point and I find myself smile and laugh throughout the story.
I really like the blooming romance of Bee and Levi, their chemistry is really good, they have a lot of things in common.
I kinda wish Levi has his own POV cause I’d love to know his thoughts, instead of only seeing from Bee’s POV. Not that I mind that but some of Bee’s inner monologue can be slightly annoying and frustrating.
Overall, this is a pretty good lighthearted reading to pass the time that comes with a happy ending and a small twist that really surprised me.
If you want more from The Love Hypothesis then I think you’ll like this one.

Super cute, lighthearted book with some spice in the last quarter. I found the main character to be smart, witty, and funny. I found myself laughing out loud several times.

Ok look. The FMC is really annoying, the plot was 100% predictable and obvious, there’s stupid levels of miscommunication…
And yet I ate this up. I’m sorry, Ali Hazelwood has a hold on me. She writes love stories that I should hate but instead make me cry/give me butterflies and it might not be great literature but believe me, I enjoyed this IMMENSELY.

This was an okay read for me. I loved Levi and Rosettas' characters only. I liked the writing style and the plot. I hated the way Bee lacked confidence. I loved the spotlight Ali is putting on the STEM programs. Bee gets her dream job with NASA. The only problem is she has to work with Levi who Hates her. When she gets to her new lab she sadly finds out nothings changed. Levi ignores her emails and leaves her out of meetings. She can't even get five minutes with him face to face. Even worse her boss is ready to fire her if she doesn't start to show some progress on the project. Bee has no choice, but to face her nemesis. She maybe able to do that if she could only stop herself from being distracted by how handsome he is.

Ok the thing I appreciate about Hazelwood's books is they're not insta-love. This one actually brought me to a realization that the reason I probably enjoy enemies/rivals to lovers is because I prefer a slower burn and those plots take longer for the romance to solidify. The romance/relationship plot of this one is a bit predictable, but that didn't really detract from my interest in seeing how it played out. Levi has some great passages, despite this being one pov. I was a bit indifferent about Bee our main character though. Hazelwood also is good at the third act 'break ups' not being too over the top or drawn out. I was quite surprised by the other plotline (her science career) ending tho and that did feel a bit out of left field.
I was told to read this book because it has two vegan MCs, and I probably have only read a handful of other fiction books with a vegan character ever in my life. But I could tell that Hazelwood is likely not vegan herself, so some things seemed a bit stereotypical to me.
Queer side character rep. Bee's lab assistant Rosio (sp? I did audio) was honestly my fav character.
🌶️3.5/5 (this spice wasn't my fav)
