Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
5.0
I read this book in a single sitting.
Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood just came out on August 23rd, but I’ve been looking forward to it since I read #TheLoveHypothesis back in MAY. And it did not disappoint!
Bee is a neuroscientist with the NIH studying brain stimulation. She’s just earned a spot leading a team on an elite NASA project to help astronauts perform better in space.
Then she finds out she’s not the only lead on the project. She’ll be working with NASA engineer, Levi, aka her grad school nemesis.
And of course, the best way to re-meet your nemesis is when they save you from being crushed by falling equipment and you proceed to faint in their arms, right?
And it all seems great until the first day on the project and none of Bee’s equipment has been delivered and then keeps not being delivered… and then turns out it’s been cancelled?
Now what’s a brilliant, purple haired scientist to do when it looks like grad school rivalries haven’t played themselves out and her project co-lead is trying to edge her out of a career making project?
She follows in the footsteps of her role model Marie Curie of course! (Well, minus the unshielded polonium.)
She doesn’t let politics or misogyny get in the way and is determined to make the project a success. Much easier once she and Levi come to an understanding in order to work together professionally.
As is part of Hazelwood’s writing style, this book is a fabulous rivals to lovers story featuring women in STEM with a feminist leading man. The kind of man that makes you wish there were more like him in the world. Men who recognize the privilege they have and use it to help bring up others who don’t have the same privilege. I mean, THE DREAM, #amiright?
What I’m getting at is basically, go get yourself a copy, a beverage of choice, and settle in for an excellent read.
