Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

3.0

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
