About this ebook

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

A #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 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?

Ratings and reviews

After the success of Love Hypothesis, you would expect this to be as good if not better. Get ready to be hugely disappointed. The author tried too hard to be funny but the book turned out ridiculously comical and kiddy, left you wondering whether the author is writing for kids or adults. Gave up after 3 chapters of nonsensical musings of the female lead character that are neither humorous nor logical.

Oh sweet sweet summer child 😄 I love these two.Love Bee’s sense of humor.Her overall obsession with Curie is a bit much but hey this is fiction!Anyway they’re adorably funny smart and beautiful together.Although my reservation is for the constant same-pattern of sidekicks in all of Ali’s novels. Reservation:so Tim is the filthiest of scumbags for cheating on Bee but for Roció it’s ok because Alex conveniently “doesn’t care”!! I understand inclusion but promoting messages such as Polygamy! NOPE

I enjoyed this enemies to lovers nerdy story. I just adored Levi. He is the perfect type of hero...strong, faithful and honest. I also really liked Bee and all of her quirkiness. I really enjoyed her tweeting conversations she had under her fake name. Overall this was an enjoyable read and I would recommend reading it.
