Love on the Brain: From the bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

Product Information

Special thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for giving me an ARC of this book for an honest review. the parts in which Marlowe and Angus have to do chemistry reads and/or kiss on camera and they clearly do not know how to deal okay, i'm gonna be real with you. the reason i was initially drawn to this book was that mel, the male lead, reminded me (on the cover) of my fave character from one of my fave shows ever (kimchee from kim's convenience, who is played by andrew phung okay, i'm gonna be real with you. the reason i was initially drawn to this book was that mel, the male lead, reminded me (on the cover) of my fave character from one of my fave shows ever (kimchee from kim's convenience, who is played by andrew phung, who owns my whole heart and body). and honestly, i loved mel a lot. he's great, fantastic, abrasive and loud sometimes but also always lovable? his stand up comedy is 90/10, his relationship with his po po is 100/10, his sense of fashion is 110/10, i'm a fan. In terms of the romance itself, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't my favorite thing about this book. I found the transition from we're-frenemies to we're-getting-it-on to be a bit sudden. It seemed like they were solidly in the former category, and then all of a sudden, they were in the latter category. I guess I wanted more of a slow progression and steamy anticipation than what I got. I cannot get enough of her brand of brainy romance! Writing with an emotionally brilliant and witty pen, Hazelwood is an absolute romance powerhouse.' Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners

Right. That’s why you have exactly . . .” I scroll down for a few seconds. More seconds. A minute. “. . . a grand total of zero female-performed songs on your phone.” I also really loved the side characters, particularly Rocío, Bee's assistant, and Levi's cat, Schrodinger, because who doesn't love the cats who star in romance stories!? you’d be called out as a raging misogynist. But because it was about a man, you’re a feminist empowerment queen and 100% in the right. Yes, this was a repeat of TLH but in my humble opinion, better, smuttier, and more sciencey (yayyyy stem!!!) and it had engineers sorry i love engineering. But if Ali doesnt break that mold its gonna become real old real fast. The snappy prose, engaging and twisty plot, and utterly endearing characters combine to create pure romance gold.”— Publishers WeeklyI guess my one thing with this book would be that there was a certain plot point that felt a little recycled from The Love Hypothesis, which you can pretty much tell right away. But am I complaining? I would NEVER.

At this point, I can safely add Ali Hazelwood to my list of must-read authors. I've loved both of her full-length novels (I'm a little iffier on her novellas, but I'm generally not a fan of novellas). I find her writing style to be supremely entertaining and her focus on science and women in STEM to be refreshing. It's always a joy to dig into one of her stories, and I can't wait for more. Hazelwood was born and raised in Italy [5] and lived in Japan and Germany before moving to the United States to pursue her Ph.D. in neuroscience. [12] During her graduate study, Hazelwood researched brain simulation and cognitive neuroscience. [13] I am so obsessed, I literally changed the name of a character of the book I'm writing to Serena in honor of Alba Serena. I AM IN DEEP, MY FRIENDS)Okay... so. I really don't know where to start with this one. Like, I truly have no idea how to articulate how incredible this book was. Maybe if I say this it will come across: I read it twice in a row. I originally read it, loved it, and then I was traveling but I kept thinking about how amazing the book was, so I was like... You know what, I'm gonna reread passages of it on my various flights. And ended up just rereading ALL OF IT. It's one of my faves I've ever read, and I'm pretty sure it's my fave P&P adaptation and to be clear, there are a tons of things that work in this book, but I think that my favorite is how Nikki Payne has managed to really capture the spirit of every single Jane Austen character and to adapt them so masterfully, while keeping them true to the specific setting(s) of this book. One example among a million: Maurice (who's Liza Bennet's little brother and the Mary of this story). Like... He's TOTALLY Mary, but also such a complex, well rounded character, and here I am, stanning Maurice. Nikki, what have you done to me? And: can you do it some more? Without putting too fine a point on it, I'll just say that Hazelwood's stories are the romances of my dreams. I loved this one even more than The Love Hypothesis.

Okay: Marlowe is at her lowest, working as a costume design assistant o AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! but also like... the way he talks about georgie. god he loves her so much. those idiots *cries into her cereal* Liza Alize Bennett, I want to marry you. You are my fave main character ever. YOU SPARKLE AND I LOVE YOU. Oh, that romance. If one could even call it that. LITERALLY ALL OF THE TENSION WAS A SERIES OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

Unsurprisingly, as Bee and Rocío attempt to settle in at their new office and get to work, it seems that someone is sabotaging them. Honestly, it's like Levi isn't even trying to hide it, but the longer they're around each other, Bee begins to see a different side to him. this may be surprising for her to learn but some people enjoy genres of music where women didn’t/don’t make big strides in or are hard to find let's start with the most important matters: this book has some of the best sex scenes i've ever read.

Do you like heroes who are grumpy and moody but then they fall hard for a woman and become obsessed with her and with her ass (but like, in a healthy way) and they would l What's Wrong With Secretary Kim + The best possible smut = THIS BOOK 😍 😍 😍 😍 🍆🍆 Bee has a PhD in neuroscience, but she's struggling to find recognition and funding for her projects. So when she gets the call from NASA to work on one of their helmet prototypes, it sounds like a dream come true. The only catch: she has to work alongside Levi, her archnemesis from grad school. But as she spends more time with him, she starts to realize that maybe they don't really hate each other after all and it's actually something else altogether. I have to mention the science in here. I don't know anything about neuroscience, but reading this book made me wish I did. I wanted so badly for the technology in here to be real, so that I could marvel at how cool it is and totally nerd out learning more about it. Add in the NASA/astronaut angle, and your resident space-science fangirl here was swooning.The same is the case for Love on the Brain. Overall I enjoyed many parts of this book and it was fun to read! That being said, there were quite a few things that I did not enjoy and honestly, they were a little bit more unbearable in this book than in TLH because at this point I have read FIVE published works from this author (yes I am counting the novellas as published works since it is technically true despite not being full size novels!)
