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.
