love on the brain ali hazelwood release date

10/10 would recommend his drunken DMs extolling Bee's virtues. Hazelwood never fails to write heroes who dazzle me with their competence, loyalty, and intense devotion. There's also Bee's fear of abandonment to contend with once things start to heat up between them. From a lying, manipulative ex to an unhinged saboteur, Bee and Levi are up against a lot. This is one of the rare examples of that trope that works for me because external factors conspire to make these communication breakdowns occur. I wouldn't classify it as enemies-to-lovers because the basis of their tension is a protracted case of miscommunication. The romance between Bee and Levi seems like sunshine and grump but it's more so sunshine and lovestruck-dumb.

Now, she's a badass neuroscientist who just got a placement on a joint NIH/NASA team with the only caveat being that she has to co-lead the project with Levi Ward, a man who was known to despise her the year they overlapped in grad school. Where her sister thrived, Bee became desperate for a home and a routine.

She grew up an orphan, bounced around with her twin sister to different households. Of her many excellent qualities, I felt an overwhelming desire to befriend her because she 1) says that Love Island is an underrated show, 2) objects to a universal category of sexy men (she can join in on my rants every time I write a review where I need to put that reminder out there), and 3) wants to feel safe and stable in a world that isn't made for that. She's sweet and intelligent, friendly and secretly fierce. Once I warmed up to protagonist and chairwoman of the Marie Curie fan club Bee, I was all in. In Love on the Brain, Ali Hazelwood gifts us with all the humor, sweet, gushy feels, and science-y goodness we all deserve.
