4⭐️2.5🌶️ (several descriptive scenes)
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.

I know it’s a romance novel but Bee and Levi were perfectly matched. At times, it felt like Ali was really pushing Bee to be the Quirky Science Girl (TM), but I still deeply wanted to see her succeed. Levi gave me total Mr. Darcy vibes, as he was grumpy without being a total jerk. His inner monologue was also so stinking cute! * squealing in hopeless romantic * 

The progression of the story felt really natural and there was never a bit where I felt like the action was lagging or too overwhelming. I started out wishing Bee and Levi got together sooner, but how it happened was much better. I sort of predicted the twist, but it was still widely entertaining. Because of this, I think this story would be a great book to adapt to a movie. 

I wanted a cute romance novel and Love on the Brain delivered. While the characters were maybe a little more basic than I’m used to in my usual reads, the chemistry and plot were excellent! I’ll definitely be recommending this to my friends and looking forward to reading her other novels.
