She’s funky! Loves science! He is strong and silent, but also <3 <3 <3 science!!! It’s tedious. He’s tall tall tall, with Big Boy muscles and the penis of a goddamn stallion. She’s petite, so very teensy, just an itty bitty little dust speck. Levi may have a slightly altered past trauma that causes him to come across as cold and unyielding, but he is Adam. So, if you don’t want to feel like you’re on a never-ending merry-go-round of science puns and quirk, pick one of her titles and go with it, then get off the ride while you still can.īee might have purple hair and her own version of a PSL-obsession (Marie Curie, anyone? Haven’t heard of her? Well, you’re about to), but she is Olive. Is she unwilling or incapable? Couldn’t say, but I can tell you her books are suffering as a result.
At this point, it’s clear that Hazelwood is not going to take the initiative to break her own mold. Just know you will be reading the same thing twice (five times if we count the novellas). If you liked the former, maybe consider giving this one a try. Here’s the short version: Everything TLH is, LOTB is, but more. I wanted to love her sophomore novel, but this was one of the most mind-numbing/soul-crushing/coochie-drying experiences of my life and I have to speak my truth. I bring that up because my thoughts here are going to be undeniably ranty and I want to re-establish the fact that I have not been, like, hate-reading Ali Hazelwood from the start. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?īefore we get into Love On the Brain, I would like to take a second and remind everyone that I gave The Love Hypothesis 5 whole stars LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. Perhaps it's her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her vouring her with those eyes. Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school-archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. 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. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project-a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia-Marie would accept without hesitation. A STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis-with explosive results.
