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. .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.

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).
