I read The Love Hypothesis about a year ago, and while I enjoyed it, I didn’t quite understand the rave reviews surrounding it. That being said, I think it was because of the age gap between the two mc’s, since the power dynamic seemed unbalanced. Plus, fake dating just isn’t for me.
However, Love on the Brain was phenomenal, and has been replaying in my head nonstop after weeks of my first read.
There are so many things to love: the main character Bee, is such a quirky, smart, and wonderful lead, and was very well fleshed out by the author. The love story incredibly beautiful, and the connection between Bee and her love interest was palpable. Above all else, it’s fun! The writing style is humorous and lighthearted, ultimately making it the most I have enjoyed reading in a while!
For any romance fans who love strong female main characters, a stem environment, and a perfect summer read, I would highly recommend.

I am a bit disappointed with this book.  I will say that in the beginning I felt the writing was engaging and interesting. That being said, about half way through the story the book became more about physical attraction and sex than the actual plot.  It was bad enough I found myself skimming through chapters looking for the plot to start up again.  Unfortunately, the book never really picked up again and I ended up forcing myself to finish.  This makes me sad because it started off so well.

Hmmm. The romance was cute and I really like the use of facts and humour by narrator and characters. It was predictable but I don’t mind. 

Not comfortable with how the Guy storyline was handled. I wish the main two had spotted the problem earlier and worked together to detect the cause and impact of Guy.

Cute :) It was nice to read enemies to lovers that was genuinely executed well for a change. I enjoyed the feminist themes in this book as well, a lot. Very similar to the love hypothesis, but so much better. If you liked that book then you'll love this one.

Ask Ali Hazelwood and she will deliver!
I love the setup of the romance, the mix with random insights on neuroscience and I find the main character very cute. 

I’m giving it 4,75 ⭐️, just it’s not mind-blowing like the last 5⭐️-book I read. 

If you need a quick read, some distraction and you still don’t want to feel like you’re actively deteriorating your brain while reading (not sure if that’s possible, haha), read this book.

I just recently heard this term: Premium popcorn. This is premium popcorn in a book.
