Love on the Brain by Ali HazelwoodMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I get it, I really do, Ali Hazelwood is a bit of a one-trick pony. Thing is, when she does it well I like to read it.
Bee is a neuroscientist, demeaned and belittled by her male colleagues and bosses. Then she is selected to co-lead a NASA project to create helmets for astronauts which enhance their cognitive skills. She's overjoyed at the opportunity, until she discovers that her co-lead is Levi Ward, someone she knew from college who has always had the utmost distain for her, even refusing to participate in experiments where she was involved.
Then when Bee and her assistant arrive at NASA they find that none of their equipment has been ordered and all of Bee's emails to Levi go unanswered. With her career and reputation on the line what can Bee do?
So, because its Ali Hazelwood obviously Levi has been madly in love with Bee since he met her; he's six foot four and she's five foot; there's a ridiculous number of misunderstandings which could easily have been resolved if one of them had said more than "I don't hate you ..." and then lapsed into silence. Also, Bee has an obsession with Marie Curie which means we get treated to more stories about her life than is strictly necessary (or interesting). However, the story was fun, I like Levi and Bee and the plot moved along at a brisk pace.
