Love on the Brain: From the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

Product Information

ahem* now, Bee, I understand you think life is a war against men, and men have done nothing good in the entirety of human history, but—WHERE IS THE BLEACH. I NEED TO THOROUGHLY SCRUB MY BRAIN PLEASE NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN I BEG YOU besides Bee’s obsession with Marie Curie, she’s also highkey in love with cats. everytime she was making a cat pun, thinking it’s the purr-fect response a human has ever given, a part of my soul shrivels. don’t come for me, i’m just trying to match her energy. 🤚 this may be surprising for her to learn but some people enjoy genres of music where women didn’t/don’t make big strides in or are hard to find

The story is told from the perspective of the heroine, neuroscientist and Marie-Curie-obsessed Bee Königswasser (watch me spell that right on the first try!!). Bee has a thing about not getting pets or forming meaningful romantic relationships because all these bonds will end up breaking her heart one way or another. Pets die, people leave, you get it. I feel like some people will find this part of her a little frustrating, but I… completely related? Lol, I can be the exact same way sometimes, which made this book’s message so personal and beautiful to me. Oh, that romance. If one could even call it that. LITERALLY ALL OF THE TENSION WAS A SERIES OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS. She has to confront that man who turns her life into hell by telling him how he makes her feel for years! I hope in the future, Hazelwood writes books with a new hypothesis. The same formula can't work every time when it comes to writing. Love Theoretically is already a let down in my eyes, but I'll give it a go for the cover, which I'm sure will look cute on my bookshelf (I'm weird that way) and that will be it for my experience with the author. While I appreciate that she writes about STEM and especially women in STEM- does she not have any other ideas? Does she not want to put in effort to explore and write something newer? Can she not write anything without the miscommunication trope? Well, Ali Hazelwood definitely has a formula for writing cute contemporary romance novels that immediately draw you in and keep you captivated the entire journey. I plowed through these three beauties in about 5 days, and I was left wanting to reread them immediately!

Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.

Aquí nos encontramos con Bree, una científica obsesionada con Marie Curie a la que de repente le ofrecen el trabajo de su vida como neuroingeniera de un gran proyecto de la NASA. A pesar de que tendrá que mudarse de ciudad y de que se tendrá que reencontrar con Levi, su archienemigo y persona odiada número uno, ella acepta la oportunidad y se lanza de cabeza a este proyecto. Sin embargo, las cosas cuando llega no salen de la mejor manera, se encuentra con mil trabas en este nuevo trabajo y lo peor es que todas se las achaca a Levi, quien cree que la quiere sabotear, hasta que empieza a notar que él la apoya en todas sus decisiones, que la defiende ante un equipo de científicos bastante machista y… que es incapaz de dejar de mirarla ni un segundo. Watching Bee fall in love with Levi was so beautiful; you can only pretend someone is not your best friend for so long. To me in many ways this was The Love Hypothesis 2.0. I know the blurb makes it seem like an enemies to lovers trope but truly this book is just a miscommunication trope. The enemies thing is based on a miscommunication which neatly sorts itself out quite soon. Then the main miscommunication starts. This time it wasn’t all that difficult as it was in TLH for me. There's just no denying that. It became harder to not compare the two, so do bear with me. Adam and Olive were so easy to like, their angst came so naturally. The side characters were so full of personality.But what if Levi is not the villain of this story and only thing he wants to do this accomplish their mission by working as equal colleagues. What if Levi’s awkward manners around her doesn’t mean he despises her! I was initially a bit distrustful of her – her bio says “she/her,” and we all know how women on the internet can be.” I hate the "man so huge he take up big chair he make normal thing look little in massive hand he large and strong" trope almost as much as I hate "I am so tiny and cute like a little child <3" Lo que más amé: A Levi, que me hizo llorar varias veces porque en la vida real no existen hombres así, jajajaja.

The two have good chemistry and they're cute together BUT sadly, they could not create the magic that Adam and Olive created.

Fatevi scaldare il cuore da Levi, dalla sua intelligenza, dal suo essere incompreso. Un pò scontroso, decisamente introverso e chiuso ma autoritario (IN TUTTI I CAMPI, non solo sul lavoro).

A literary breakthrough…The Love Hypothesisis a self-assured debut, and we hypothesize it’s just the first bit of greatness we’ll see from an author who somehow has the audacity to be both an academic powerhouse and divinely talented novelist.” — Entertainment Weekly In addition to her boneheadedness and the fact that she cries at roadkill, trips quirkily, and faints all the time, Bee also has anger management issues. wow Bee you’re so small and Levi’s so big and you’re so teeny teeny tiny and he’s such a hulking beast and you’re just a dust particle and he’s a dinosaur CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS BODY I cannot get enough of her brand of brainy romance! Writing with an emotionally brilliant and witty pen, Hazelwood is an absolute romance powerhouse .' Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners The walls are too high for me to climb—because I’m five feet tall and everything is too high for me to climb.”For the first half of the book, the only tangible reason Bee is civil to Levi is because of his big, huge, enormous body and those hulking, massive biceps and his huge warm chest and no I’m not being excessive because BEE CANNOT SHUT UP ABOUT HIS BODY. I giorni passano e la situazione di Bee é sempre più precaria; il suo capo misogino vuole rispedirla a casa e sostituirla con qualcun altro. Un uomo. Gloriously nerdy and sexy , with on-point commentary about women in STEM.' Helen Hoang, author of The Heart Principle where is the petition to see a bonus chapter of Rocia (Bee’s assistant) and Kaylee (Levi’s assistant) having intercourse on Bee’s office desk infront of a camera. I was more invested in the side character and what they were up to compared to the main characters. Ali Hazelwood always manages to write the most hilarious secondary characters and they may be over the top with their personalities, but that’s right up my alley.
