There are a few things in Hazelwood's books that aren't really my cup of tea. They're quite predictable, especially in terms of the romance, I don't care about the smut, and sometimes (like in this case) the main character is incredibly dense about whether someone loves or hates her.

But I love the stories about women in STEM and the fact they're not all just fluffy romance. That was enough for me to like The Love Hypothesis. In Loathe to Love You (the collection of short stories) it wasn't and I didn't really enjoy it as much. But Love on the Brain has surpassed them all. The STEM story is so much fun and I love Bee's affinity (obsession?) with Marie Curie.

My absolute favourite thing about this book is how funny it is. I actually laughed out loud at times, and that connected me more to the characters and story than any of the other books so far. A lot of it was predictable but there were a few surprises outside the romantic element, and because of the humour I really enjoyed reading it.

Is it basically the plot of “The Love Hypothesis” with a dash of “You’ve Got Mail”? Yepp
Is it hella nerdy? Of course!  
Did I enjoy every single second of it? ABSOLUTELY YES.
