I actually liked this book better than the love hypothesis, even though we still got a pretty clueless and cringey FMC and dark and broody MMC. This book covers grumpy/sunshine once again and also petite FMC/huge MMC. Bee is a brilliant neuroscientist (but clueless in love), who just got a dream job working with nasa. The only catch is she’ll be working with her former rival from grad school who hates her. Levi has actually been obsessed with bee since the moment he laid eyes on her. After a whole lot of miscommunication, bee and levi discover that they are both single and never actually hated each other, 😯shocker!! Will they be able to form a relationship and save their work project?
The reason I liked this better than her debut novel is because levi is much more forthcoming with his feelings and I can actually see the tension between the MCs. Even when he supposedly hated bee he was always there for her. He’s very much an “I’ll take care of it” and talks you through it kind of guy. I love him dearly.
We get a whole lot of Marie curie lore in this book so you should at least be interested in science before you pick this up. I don’t see myself rereading but I liked it overall. I also listened to the audiobook and it was good but was missing a male narrator with duet narration.

She has a fainting disorder but it’s not really talked about in depth, just used as a plot device.whatisbeereading's review against another edition

Very similar in structure to the Love Hypothesis, with science, enemies to lovers and a twist that will be obvious to most readers. That being said, it’s a fun read with a hint of spice and lovable characters.
