Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood is a contemporary STEMinist romantic comedy that follows neuroscientist Bee Königswasser, a brilliant researcher who lives by the mantra, “What would Marie Curie do?” When she is offered the chance to lead a major NASA neuroengineering project, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. However, her excitement quickly fades when she learns she must co-lead the project with Levi Ward—her former academic rival who once made it clear he did not like her.
Despite their rocky past, Bee is determined to succeed professionally, even as strange issues begin to surface in the lab, including missing equipment and lack of support from colleagues. As Levi begins to unexpectedly support her work and advocate for her ideas, Bee starts to question everything she thought she knew about him.
What begins as professional tension slowly develops into emotional and romantic complexity, forcing Bee to confront her feelings while navigating a high-stakes scientific environment.
Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood blends humour, workplace dynamics, and slow-burn romance, exploring themes of trust, respect, and attraction in the competitive world of science.
