I read The Love Hypothesis about a year ago, and while I enjoyed it, I didn’t quite understand the rave reviews surrounding it. That being said, I think it was because of the age gap between the two mc’s, since the power dynamic seemed unbalanced. Plus, fake dating just isn’t for me.
However, Love on the Brain was phenomenal, and has been replaying in my head nonstop after weeks of my first read.
There are so many things to love: the main character Bee, is such a quirky, smart, and wonderful lead, and was very well fleshed out by the author. The love story incredibly beautiful, and the connection between Bee and her love interest was palpable. Above all else, it’s fun! The writing style is humorous and lighthearted, ultimately making it the most I have enjoyed reading in a while!
For any romance fans who love strong female main characters, a stem environment, and a perfect summer read, I would highly recommend.
