Love on the Brain
by Ali Hazelwood
STEM babe here to scream at you about this book, you're welcome. Here we get a beautiful enemies to lovers book with some GLORIOUS Act 1 miscommunications that reassure you that people with PhDs can be dumb as heck too. As with her first book, you don't have to know much of anything about engineering or neuroscience to fully enjoy - but there are some added bonuses if you do! This is a story about misogyny, institutional classism, and (of course) LOVE.
As a former NASA intern, the workplace atmosphere rung true. We really do go mad for donuts and it's a total wurstfest in every meeting. And there are SO many people that are stuck in their ways, be it in terms of research or misogyny. But, as Levi so handsomely demonstrated, there are people willing to rethink their ideas for the sake of scientific progress. And on the topic of Levi, the SWOOOOOOONS. A sexy 6'4" engineer who listens to females? Be still my heart.
There's so much going on in this book in the best way, from the You've Got Mail subplot to the lab antics, there's really something for everyone. And for me, I loved all of it.
Some questions I'm left with at the end...
- What was the raccoon incident? I'm SO invested in this!
- Are we not going to talk about Levi's phone passcode? 338338... turn it upside down, PEOPLE.
- Felicette, just... how?
