It was so much, that I nearly checked out. Do those guys exist in STEM? Definitely, but Ali spends a great length of chapters 2 and 3 basically calling every guy in science a terrible person. Ali definitely insinuates and goes into depth that every guy in the science field is a disgusting misogynist who wants to sexually harass their co-workers and that every guy just wants to steal the credit of projects from women coworkers. Biggest Personal Complaint: I know I’m not the target audience, (I’m a hetero male) but this book was very anti-guy. I thought they were better than the Love Hypothesis’s sex scenes. I thought the sex scenes were definitely steamy.

I think Ali did an excellent job of capturing the feel, and conversations people in a STEM field might have. Some of it was really specific, even for me, and I find I am a really sciency person. Things I liked: Its science was really neat to hear in a book. I almost downloaded the novellas in the mean time to read while I waited for this to review, but now I’m glad I hesistated. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?Īli Hazelwood’s debut novel, The Love Hypothesis was fantastic and earned a 10/10 review for me (Although that narrator struggled with male voices, but I don’t fault the story for that). And the possibilities have all her neurons firing.

Perhaps it’s 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. Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school-archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. 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. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

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. From the New York Times best-selling 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.
