The book is good. Love the relationship and romance here. Again I appreciate showing how hard it still is to be a girl and have a career in the university and since world. I very much appreciate the way of appreciation of mental health characters go to therapy when they need to, they do not feel emberes because of that and that is such a positive thing. My only minus is this a bit cliche but still sweet and cool story is the cat saves the day. Especially when the author a couple of pages before talking about cliche moments in books and movies. But still a good book about a very amazing love story. Every girl deserves a man like Levi.

Ali Hazelwood has done it again. She got me to read another one of her cheesy STEM romance books in under 8 hours. And I love every minute of it. I would even go as far to say that this is my favorite of hers.
The characters are likable, the interactions are real and the emotion is so well done. You FEEL Bee’s panic, her fear, her deep, deep love. The one sided Enemies-to-Lovers plot was initially what hooked me but I was glad it didn’t persist for the duration of the book. Instead

Spoiler

we got a satisfying meld with a he-fell-hard-she-fell-harder that tickled my fancy. AND the sex was great, so well written, not at all raunchy or distasteful. .

OMG THE TWIST!! As predictable as the book was I really couldn’t flush out the full details, I have to commend Ali for that.
Aside from being a tad predictable and the tendency that our author has to “break the illusion” by having her character say something extremely meta I really loved it.
I had barely finished Love on The Brain and I was recommending it to my best friend. An overall enjoyable read that’d pull anyone out of a reading slump.

4.0

I know it’s a romance novel but Bee and Levi were perfectly matched. At times, it felt like Ali was really pushing Bee to be the Quirky Science Girl (TM), but I still deeply wanted to see her succeed. Levi gave me total Mr. Darcy vibes, as he was grumpy without being a total jerk. His inner monologue was also so stinking cute! * squealing in hopeless romantic *

The progression of the story felt really natural and there was never a bit where I felt like the action was lagging or too overwhelming. I started out wishing Bee and Levi got together sooner, but how it happened was much better. I sort of predicted the twist, but it was still widely entertaining. Because of this, I think this story would be a great book to adapt to a movie.

I wanted a cute romance novel and Love on the Brain delivered. While the characters were maybe a little more basic than I’m used to in my usual reads, the chemistry and plot were excellent! I’ll definitely be recommending this to my friends and looking forward to reading her other novels.

4.0

The story is interesting, and the only thing holding the story back from a 5.0 is just how the main female character is written. I enjoy her, but sometimes the modern day topics put into the story are a touch on the nose too much. I love how the romance between Bee and Levi transforms throughout the book, and I love Levi so much.

Overall a 4.0, it isn't the worst romance I've read and it is a good book. I loved what I read, but the implementations of modern subjects thrown randomly into the story sometimes (just how I personally feel).
