Publisher's Summary

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

A #1 LibraryReads and Indie Next Pick!

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.

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 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. 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, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

What the critics say

“With her sophomore novel, Ali Hazelwood proves that she is the perfect writer to show that science is sexy as hell, and that love can ‘STEM’ from the most unlikely places. She’s my newest must-buy author.” (Jodi Picoult, number one New York Times best-selling author of Wish You Were Here)

“I cannot get enough of her brand of brainy romance!...Writing with an emotionally brilliant and witty pen, Hazelwood is an absolute romance powerhouse.” (Christina Lauren, New York Times best-selling authors of The Unhoneymooners)

“Gloriously nerdy and sexy, with on-point commentary about women in STEM.” (Helen Hoang, New York Times best-selling author of The Heart Principle)

“STEMinists, assemble. Your world is about to be rocked.” (Elena Armas, international best-selling author of The Spanish Love Deception)

An easy Listen perfect for a road trip

Narrator did a great job. The ONLY thing that bothered me was that the “girl from Austria” couldn’t pronounce her last name authentically. But that’s full on knit picking.

She’s brilliant but dense

I really enjoyed this story, although it was very transparent from the beginning. It was warm and rich, silly and smart at the same time. We all deserve a Levi.

I wasn’t sure if the geeky story line would be for me, but it was better than expected and easy to follow! Cute and easy, perfect for a vacay read!

Too annoying to finish

I was really looking forward to a romance based in STEM! Couldn't finish. The heroine is a teenager in her maturity level (equally annoying), the book is trying so hard to be feminist that it ends up being shallow, and the portrayal of working in STEM would probably deter me if I considered it for a career when I was choosing (as a woman who works in the field, I can happily say that it's really nowhere near as bad as the book makes it out to be). The plot was wayyy too obvious from the start as well and the only person who wasn't privy to what is happening was the main character.

Fun

This story was great for a Fun fluff. Kind of listen to whine down a day, sit in the bath or do laundry to.

Waste of a credit

I have struggled beyond struggling to finish this , long long winded book. It would of been much better if the book was 3 hours long. Waste of one credit. Do not waste your money.

Cute but at times annoying

I thought the story was cute, but sometimes Bee would get on my nerves with how clueless she was. Are people really that clueless? lol 😆

Laugh-out-loud hilarious!

Very enjoyable, smart, and funny; I highly recommend. The book was well-written and the narrator is now one of my favourites.
