Love On The Brain

Description

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood is a witty, slow-burn romance that blends science, passion, and personal growth in a captivating story about second chances and overcoming past misunderstandings. The novel follows Bee Königswasser, a brilliant neuroscientist and passionate advocate for women in STEM, who is given the opportunity of a lifetime: leading a groundbreaking NASA project to develop innovative neuroengineering technology. However, there’s one major problem—she must collaborate with Levi Ward, an engineer she believes has despised her since grad school.

Bee is determined to stay professional despite Levi’s cold demeanor and their complicated history. Yet, as they work side by side, she begins to see a different side of him—one that is supportive, attentive, and maybe even caring. The tension between them slowly shifts from rivalry to partnership, and the walls they’ve built start to crumble. Bee must confront her own insecurities, professional challenges, and the possibility that she’s been wrong about Levi all along.

Set in the high-stakes, male-dominated world of STEM, Love on the Brain explores themes of gender bias in science, self-doubt, and personal resilience. Hazelwood weaves humor, sharp dialogue, and emotional depth into the story, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of women in academia. Bee’s journey is not only about finding love but also about reclaiming her confidence and standing up for her work and worth.
