Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood (English) Paperback Book

Description: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood An Instant New York Times BestsellerA #1 LibraryReads and Indie Next Pick!From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis—with explosive results.Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps its her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, theres only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

Its actually a pretty cool story: a scientist friend hooked her up with Pierre Curie. They awkwardly admitted to having read each others papers and flirted over beakers full of liquid uranium, and he proposed within the year. But Marie was only meant to be in France to get her degree, and reluctantly rejected him to return to Poland. Womp womp. Enter the University of Krakow, villain and unintentional cupid of this story, which denied Marie a faculty position because she was a woman (very classy, U of K). Dick move, I know, but it had the fortunate side effect of pushing Marie right back into Pierres loving, not-yet-radioactive arms. Those two beautiful nerds married in 1895, and Marie, who wasnt exactly making bank at the time, bought herself a wedding dress that was comfortable enough to use in the lab every day. My girl was nothing if not pragmatic. Of course, this story becomes significantly less cool if you fast forward ten years or so, to when Pierre got himself run over by a carriage and left Marie and their two daughters alone in the world. Zoom into 1906, and thats where youll find the real moral of this tale: trusting people to stick around is a bad idea. One way or another theyll end up gone. Maybe theyll slip on the Rue Dauphine on a rainy morning and get their skull crushed by a horse-drawn cart. Maybe theyll be kidnapped by aliens and vanish into the vastness of space. Or maybe theyll have sex with your best friend six months before youre due to get married, forcing you to call off the wedding and lose tons of cash in security deposits. The skys the limit, really. One might say, then, that U of K is only a minor villain. Dont get me wrong: I love picturing Dr. Curie waltzing back to Krakow Pretty Woman-style, wearing her wedding-slash-lab gown, brandishing her two Nobel Prize medals, and yelling, "Big Mistake. Big. Huge." But the real villain, the one that had Marie crying and staring at the ceiling in the late hours of the night, is loss. Grief. The intrinsic transience of human relationships. The real villain is love: an unstable isotope, constantly undergoing spontaneous nuclear decay. And it will forever go unpunished. Do you know whats reliable instead? What never, ever abandoned Dr. Curie in all her years? Her curiosity. Her discoveries. Her accomplishments. Science. Science is where its at. Which is why when NASA notifies me-Me!
