As a huge fan of the Love Hypothesis & Ali’s novella trio, I was excited to dig into this, and it did NOT disappoint!

Love on the Brain brings us Bee Königswasser, a neuroscientist with a love for all things Marie Curie. She’s excited to work on a dream project at NASA, until she finds out she’ll be co-leading with her arch nemesis, engineer Levi Ward. While Bee may think he’s awful (at least for a while), IMO he is the ultimate book boyfriend that had me swooning 🥰

As a reader I love knowing a se ...more

It is the love hypothesis but with a different name. Down to the characters and everything.

Overall definitely a good read! Although I didn’t love this as much as The Love Hypothesis, it is definitely a v close second. The little plot twist at the end of the book kind of dragged this down from nearly a 5 star to a 4 star for me because I thought it was a little out of the blue and made a little too unrealistic for me personally, but overall a really great read all throughout. Thought provoking, emotional, raw to some degree, definitely got myself hooked on Ali Hazelwood :-)

If you want to read another version of TLH, go ahead and read this

Also the random twist at the end?? The scene didn’t fit the vibe of the rest of the book
