Love on the Brain

There is something about Ali's writing that compels me to read her books.
Her writing style is effortless and quirky. She knows how to write a good story that kind of keeps you on your toes.

There were so many Star Wars references and puns, my little heart couldn't take it. I loved it! Insert Michael Scott's: I loved it even more!!! when there was an Office reference.

I have read a bit of the reviews from fellow readers here on GR. And an ongoing theme was Bee's apparent lack of emotional intelligence.
All right. I believe many people don't see trauma, even when it's right in front of them. Bee wasn't stupid in this department. She had been avoiding painful memories from her childhood and was scared of being left behind.
There is something very tragic about loving so deeply and at the same time pushing loved ones away.

Unpopular opinion, I guess: I still feel like this is a nicely written story about overcoming your emotional traumas and embracing love without the fear of impending disaster.
