I kind of didn't even know where to start, and my agent guided me a lot. I was mostly a fan fiction writer before, so Love on the Brain, in many ways, is the first book that I've ever written from scratch. My agent was pitching the book to editors during the pandemic for many, many months, and literally no one was interested, so one of the things that my agent suggested was, “Why don't you just write another book? In case no one buys The Love Hypothesis and it never gets published, we have something else to pitch to editors.” Goodreads: What was your inspiration for Love on the Brain ?Īli Hazelwood: I actually wrote the book while I was on submission with The Love Hypothesis. Hazelwood spoke with Goodreads contributor Taylor Bryant about asking for help while writing, the dark side of academia, and her next project. I want to stay in that universe, and fan fiction is how I get to do it.” And to her readers in that space anticipating her return, she adds, “I still love fan fiction, and I know that I will write fan fiction again because it’s just my jam.” “I’m just the type of person that, when I watch any type of media that I like, I want to know more about the story and characters. “I watched the movie Persuasion yesterday, the new adaptation, and afterward I was like, Oh, I wonder if there is fan fiction of it yet,” she tells us. While she doesn’t have much time to contribute to that corner of the internet anymore, she still dips in and out when she can. The Love Hypothesis is loosely based on a story she wrote about Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars, and the fandom world is where she found her voice and was first discovered by her literary agent. Hazelwood first got her start writing fan fiction. Confused by Levi’s perceived change of heart, Bee has to figure out whether she’s ready to put her heart on the line yet again.
When things start to go downhill for Bee, Levi swoops in to save her, in more ways than one. Sticking to the scientific theme of her first project, Hazelwood’s new book follows neuroscientist Bee Königswasser and her nemesis engineer Levi Ward as they team up on a dream project working for NASA. The author-slash-professor has since released an audiobook-first trilogy titled The STEMinist Novellas and is gearing up for the release of her second novel, Love on the Brain. The book’s hashtag on the platform currently has more than 300 million views. 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Ali Hazelwood’s debut novel, The Love Hypothesis, was a quick hit, debuting on The New York Times bestseller lists, placing second in the Romance category for the 2021 Goodreads Choice Awards, and becoming a viral trend on TikTok.
