Reading Journal - Love on the brain

You read a romance novel and accidentally learned how neuroscience actually works. Welcome to Ali Hazelwood.

This is a 23-page guided reading journal built specifically for Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood — for the reader who wants to track every enemies-to-lovers glare, every reluctant scientific collaboration, and every moment Levi Ward pretended not to care.

✦ WHAT'S INSIDE

📖 Pre-Reading Tracker — Rate your expectations, track your first impressions, and record what you already know about NASA neuroscience before page one.

🔬 The Science Behind the Story — Did you know the book's neuroscience is real? That Bee's field of research — neural interfaces and brain-computer technology — is one of the fastest-growing areas of modern science? That NASA's human research programs actually operate exactly the way Hazelwood describes? This journal connects the romance to the real science.

💥 Chemistry Tracker — Track every loaded silence between Bee and Levi. Every professional interaction that was definitely not professional. Every moment the enemies-to-lovers tension peaked.

🧪 Reading Lab Report — A structured log broken into the key story arcs with space for chapter ratings, reactions, and notes.

💬 Deep Discussion Questions — Prompts that go beyond "did you like it?" — exploring imposter syndrome in STEM, workplace power dynamics, the psychology of misread intentions, and what it means to be brilliant in a field that doesn't always want you there.

🧠 Character Deep Dives — Bee and Levi get full psychological breakdowns. Not a character list — an analysis of why they are the way they are and what their arc actually means.

🍫 Two Book-Inspired Recipes — A NASA Break Room Black Coffee Cardamom Latte + Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt "Peer Review" Bark. Both delicious, both very on-brand.

✈️ Travel Itinerary — Four real destinations that match the book's energy: NASA Johnson Space Center (Houston), the NIH campus (Bethesda), MIT's Kendall Square neighbourhood, and Geneva's CERN research campus.
