Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

Summary:

NASA has offered Bee the opportunity to run lead on a project and she could not be any more excited. That is until she finds out that Levi Ward will be running as co-lead. As her grad school archenemy, she is sure he is not happy about working with her. When Bee keeps running into road blocks for the project, she suspects Levi is behind it. The more time they have to spend together, the more it seems Levi may be her only ally.

My Thoughts:

I instantly fell in love with this book. If you read my review of Ali Hazelwood’s fist book, you know that I had a few critiques that made it fall a little short for me. For this book, I only have ONE criticism and I’ll get to that later.

Starting with the characters, Bee is who I feel like I am inside my head all the time. I love her personality, her feminist energy, and how she chooses to express herself in her outward appearance.

Levi is handsome, tall, built, masculine, a gentleman, authoritative, has green eyes, should I go on? He is everything I would love in a fictional boyfriend. 

I genuinely love Ali Hazelwood’s way of including topics such as gender inequality and gender pay gaps. As a female in STEM, Bee has experienced her fair share of gender inequality and her attitude on the subject is enjoyable and relatable.

Onto the story itself, I will get my one criticism out of the way. The main misunderstanding and conflict were too predictable for me or maybe I’m just getting good at guessing plot lines? Either way, I would have loved at least one surprise or curveball with the story.

Aside from that, I love the story. It was a cute romantic story with some decent spice thrown in. Overall, it was a REALLY GREAT read. Almost a drop everything read (because that’s exactly what I did lol) but not quite because of the predictably.
