Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

I’m not going to lie, after the short novella series this author put out, I wasn’t very excited for this next book no matter how much I loved The Love Hypothesis so I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this read. I do feel it was different enough from her orignal to stand alone, however there was no mistaking that it was another Reylo story. Just like all the ones before. Don’t get me wrong, I love that trope. I could read 1,000 fics about that pairing. But when I’m looking to actually purchase a romance novel, I’d like some variety. There were enough differences that the plot felt very original however, the two leads were definitely copy and pastes of all her other leads. I liked the story, but I wished it were a little more of a standalone. If this came out first then I’m betting I would have loved it but having seen this done before, I was a little underwhelmed.
