The book is good. Love the relationship and romance here. Again I appreciate showing how hard it still is to be a girl and have a career in the university and since world. I very much appreciate the way of appreciation of mental health characters go to therapy when they need to, they do not feel emberes because of that and that is such a positive thing. My only minus is this a bit cliche but still sweet and cool story is the cat saves the day. Especially when the author a couple of pages before talking about cliche moments in books and movies. But still a good book about a very amazing love story. Every girl deserves a man like Levi.

Ali Hazelwood has done it again. She got me to read another one of her cheesy STEM romance books in under 8 hours. And I love every minute of it. I would even go as far to say that this is my favorite of hers. 
The characters are likable, the interactions are real and the emotion is so well done. You FEEL Bee’s panic, her fear, her deep, deep love. The one sided Enemies-to-Lovers plot was initially what hooked me but I was glad it didn’t persist for the duration of the book. Instead
we got a satisfying meld with a he-fell-hard-she-fell-harder that tickled my fancy. AND the sex was great, so well written, not at all raunchy or distasteful. .
OMG THE TWIST!! As predictable as the book was I really couldn’t flush out the full details, I have to commend Ali for that.
Aside from being a tad predictable and the tendency that our author has to “break the illusion” by having her character say something extremely meta I really loved it. 
I had barely finished Love on The Brain and I was recommending it to my best friend. An overall enjoyable read that’d pull anyone out of a reading slump.

Ahh I loved this so much! Probably my favorite of these 3 STEM-themed books. Such a great, cheesy, romantic love story! Also, I know I’m not the only one that wanted to punch the Wards in the face. Just had to throw that out there!

was it as good as TLH? no.
did i still have fun? yes!

i had trouble getting into this book, especially since the switch from 3rd to 1st person through me completely off guard. furthermore, bee is kinda whiny. but i LOVED her and levi. 

idc how many times ali hazelwood writes similar STEM romances - i will enjoy every single one. it is her niche and her charm, for sure.
