I really enjoyed reading this book!
I loved the characters, the plot was great and the setting was very different from the usual STEM books.
I think it was written really well and it was easy to follow, coming from someone who usually struggles to keep up with all the sciency stuff. The ONE thing that annoys me so much about romance books is when the guy is constantly described as being so large and manly and the female main character is petite and overshadowed by him. Like come on, he’s not the Incredible Hulk.
I did have really high hopes after reading The Love Hypothesis and I have to say this book lived up to them. I loved Bee’s character and Levi is up there with Adam on my book boyfriend list. I loved the supporting characters too; Ro and Reike were amazing.
The only negative point I have about this book is that it was slightly predictable from the start. I’m not sure if this was intentional or not.
Overall I’d say both Love On The Brain and The Love Hypothesis were great romance books and I’m looking forward to reading more from Ali Hazelwood!

Spoiler
For example, when Bee was chatting online to that account on Twitter, it was so so obvious that it was Levi. Another thing that was predictable was that Guy was going to turn out to be the villain. The way he was constantly being described as the nice guy and how lovely and kind he was, kinda made it obvious that there was something suspicious about him. Lastly, I knew that Rocio and Kaylee would end up together. The way she so passionately ‘hated’ her was a big enemies to lovers hint lmao.Overall I’d say both Love On The Brain and The Love Hypothesis were great romance books and I’m looking forward to reading more from Ali Hazelwood!
