This sparkling debut infuses sexy empowerment into a genre quickly gaining traction—romances featuring women in STEM. A Brush With Love is a journey of self worth with a multifaceted plot; Harper is fighting through stigmas, coming to terms with her anxiety disorder while Dan’s familial guilt and grief have him torn about how to live his life. Despite the more serious themes in the book, the interactions between Harper and Dan are heart-eyes embodied and both characters’ vulnerabilities give them strength. Full of medical innuendos and supportive friends, this is sure to grab the attention of fans of The Love Hypothesis and anyone with anxiety who wants to feel seen.
