2.5* - characters were copy/paste from the love hypothesis with a little edge, and I hate how ali hazelwood's female characters still cannot stand up for themselves. also hypermasculization and a rushed transition from bee not wanting to date to bee loving levi

This was such a sweet and fun book!!
If you, like me, are obsessed with academic-rivals-to-lovers, he-falls-first-AND-HARDER, don't waste another second and pick this up. Trust me, I regret not jumping into the Bee and Levi (Beevi? Levee?) bandwagon sooner.
Also, Ali Hazelwood's writing is *chefs kiss*, and I fully intend to read her entire backlist.
Also also, can Ali Hazelwood write all my textbooks, please? She's probably the only person alive able to make brain anatomy sound exciting.

This was fun but people weren’t kidding when they said Hazelwood is obsessed with physical size difference. I didn’t think she could mention it SO much.

This book is an easy read and yet kept me engaged the whole time. The tension is chef’s kiss and I couldn’t get enough of the interactions between the main two characters.

Let me tell you what it's like to read an Ali Hazelwood book for me. When I was younger, I discovered my love of reading very quickly. In hindsight, I realize that I read to escape being a little lonely in my childhood (no friends really). But as I got older, reading has lost a little bit of that feeling it used to have, and I honestly think it's just from the stress of life and my depression. However, anytime i read an Ali Hazelwood book, the whole world disappears, and I feel like a little kid all over again lost in the worlds in the pages of her books.
I'm not sure why I put off reading more of her books since finishing the Love Hypothesis in a record time for my busy days, but I think it was because I really needed her book right now in the moment I'm in in life. I loved Love on the Brain just as much, and it only took about two days to read as well. Bee and Levi were lovely, and I loved the cats too. I sincerely hope too much time doesn't pass before I pick up my next Ali Hazelwood book, but I know that whenever I do, it will be brilliant and will be at just the thing I need to help me in that moment.

3 stars… i think
to be honest it’s hard to place this book on a scale because 1. i read it so quickly and 2. i don’t even know if i actually enjoyed what i was reading
there were so many things that just made me eye roll (galaxy leggings, “omg he’s so big!!!”, “oh he doesn’t love me nO chance!”, “he hates me nope” just to name a few. i couldn’t even look past them because of how often they kept coming up (galaxy leggings lives rent free in my head). i just found bee to be pretty annoying even though i was meant to focus on her strong woman in stem character
levi was aight, gave me butterflies here and there (not that challenging to do in books tbh), and was overall a decent guy. maybe because it wasn’t dual pov i didn’t fall in love with him? i just LIKED him.
it was decent enough for me to be able to read in essentially one day (let’s ignore my motivation being to start the ballad of songbirds and snakes), so it must’ve been decent enough. but if someone’s looking for a cutesy romance, i’d recommend the love hypothesis over this.
summary for me: bee and levi have beef from college becayse she is convinced he hates her when in reality he was just madly in love (shocker!). they work on a nasa project together as co-leaders to develop a helmet. very much strong woman in stem vibes, trying to change the academic system with its tests, men suck. bee and levi hardly communicate, until they do and they work well as a team. they fuck, bee pretends that she wants to be casual with him, has an epiphany when she was about to lose all 3 fav things (her career, her twitter page, and levi). she confesses feelings, they admit love la la la, the helmet is a success. guy is evil coz he’s jealous of levi staunching his position and because bee pretended she was married, so he tried to sabotage her relo and twitter. he gets fired, she gets promoted, her and levi live happily ever after
side note: side character include kaylee and rodico who are pretty much of legally blonde met wednesday. they fell in love after fucking at work the end
