Ali Hazelwood is a romance author who seems to primarily write stories related to academia in some form. Being a student, this should be deeply relatable to me, but being an antisocial mess, I rarely ever actually interact with people at university. Nevertheless, I read two of Ali’s books this year: The Love Hypothesis in the first half, and Love on the Brain, her most recent release. 

While I think they are both amazing, I’m passionate about Love on the Brain because it contains two adorable romances, a cast of hilarious characters, and a cute cat that may or may not be real. If you love a good wacky romance, a punky queer feminist, and a chaotic story, you’ll love… on the Brain.
