4。5 ! lowkey…。they’re basically the same story…but that’s a slay bc i enjoy the tropes !

Emma Cousins

This book is three different stories in one。 However, the three female leads are all friends。 It honestly felt like one main story as each friends story lead into the next。 Each one didn’t feel rushed and you get a really nice conclusion for each at the end

did I finish it in one sitting? yes? was it as good as I was hoping? not exactly I liked how it was focused on 3 friends and each novella was dedicated to one of them, and it was good to see more lgbtq+ rep (demisexuality and bisexuality) I also think hannah was aroace spec but besides the point: each novella is what you’d expect from ali hazelwood, I do think I would’ve liked them if they were longer and fleshed out a bit more but they are novellas so I cannot hold that against it。 I do appreci did I finish it in one sitting? yes? was it as good as I was hoping? not exactly I liked how it was focused on 3 friends and each novella was dedicated to one of them, and it was good to see more lgbtq+ rep (demisexuality and bisexuality) I also think hannah was aroace spec but besides the point: each novella is what you’d expect from ali hazelwood, I do think I would’ve liked them if they were longer and fleshed out a bit more but they are novellas so I cannot hold that against it。 I do appreciate that there was a lot more consent / communication during the intimate scenes in these novellas as well 。。。more

De las tres, la historia que más me gusta es la de Sadie y Erik pero las otras también son buenas。 Me gustó el último cap porque es algo así como catching up to what they're all up to y fue super tierno todos 🥰。 De las tres, la historia que más me gusta es la de Sadie y Erik pero las otras también son buenas。 Me gustó el último cap porque es algo así como catching up to what they're all up to y fue super tierno todos 🥰。 。。。more

Under One Roof Cute and good chemistry between the characters, I like the development of their relationship and how the epilogue shows the simplicity and normalcy of their relationship together, it makes it feel more real and attainable。 Also like how there isn't much work place interactions or separate interactions and characters so it focuses just on them in the short amount of words a novella allows。 3。5/5 Stuck With You I love that the story takes place in such a short space of time because Under One Roof Cute and good chemistry between the characters, I like the development of their relationship and how the epilogue shows the simplicity and normalcy of their relationship together, it makes it feel more real and attainable。 Also like how there isn't much work place interactions or separate interactions and characters so it focuses just on them in the short amount of words a novella allows。 3。5/5 Stuck With You I love that the story takes place in such a short space of time because of how short the story is this works really well。 I like the attitude of the characters and the things they have in common。 Not sure how I feel about the amount of emphasis that is placed on their height difference and how small she is and how tall he is, it feels unnecessary but I can understand wanting to have distinguishable traits for each character。 Love the epilogue again as it feels realistic and relatable and on brand for the characters。 3/5 Below Zero I think this one was my favourite of the three novellas。 The main character had a proper personality that really felt different to Ali Hazelwood's usual leading ladies。 She has an interesting background which has led to who she is and explains the way she thinks and it feels like it makes the character make more sense。 Something about Ian, I really like。 He seems sweet and not over the top。 I like the involvement of the other characters from the previous novellas and it ties them together well to see them interact in person for the first time。 The character development that occurs from a new death experience feels realistic and it's nice for it to have such a specific catalyst。 4/5 Bonus Chapter A nice little snapshot into everyone's lives a little bit in the future。 It's good that there isn't an exact timeframe for this as otherwise it could feel a bit rushed。 A bit stereotypical with everyone ending up married, pregnant or about to be engaged but it still feels somewhat reassuring。 3/5 。。。more

These books are a little repetitive and quite wildly cringe but they’re also rom coms so you can’t really expect much more and I like them anyway

Under One Roof 💕☆☆☆☆Mara is an environmental engineer who has just inherited half the property of a house to Washington DC。 The other half of the house is instead occupied by lawyer Liam。 The two, forced to live together, will often clash but when Mara starts to find out what lies behind the cold lawyer mask it will be much harder to hate Liam and easier to fall in love with him。Stuck with You 🌿☆☆☆☆。5Sadie is a civilian engineer who finds herself trapped inside an elevator stuck in a building in Under One Roof 💕☆☆☆☆Mara is an environmental engineer who has just inherited half the property of a house to Washington DC。 The other half of the house is instead occupied by lawyer Liam。 The two, forced to live together, will often clash but when Mara starts to find out what lies behind the cold lawyer mask it will be much harder to hate Liam and easier to fall in love with him。Stuck with You 🌿☆☆☆☆。5Sadie is a civilian engineer who finds herself trapped inside an elevator stuck in a building in New York and unfortunately inside the elevator there is also the man who broke her heart, namely the blond and muscular Erik。 And during this disastrous reunion everything will happen, even what Sadie thought it was impossible。P。S。 with this novella I have rediscovered my love for miscommunication trope!Below Zero ❄️☆☆☆☆。25Hannah is an aerospace engineer who finds herself in danger at a lost NASA research station Struck by a blizzard。Just when she is sure that no one will come to save her, she finds herself face to face with lan, which was a lot of things for Hannah but certainly not a hero。 Why did lan come to save her?

I really hated that Sadie didn’t just ask/confront Erik and instead ghosted him。 But hey, I hate confrontation so maybe I’d be the same brand of annoying asshole in that situation too。Regardless of my complaints, this was still an adorable, slightly steamy romance。Below Zero⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This might actually be the sweetest thing ever? Can Ian come save me from a life or death situation? I may be in love。In all seriousness, Ian was just the perfect book boyfriend for me。 He was kind and considerate and so, so understanding。 I really just loved everything about him。And Hannah, bless her。 Her personal growth in this story was so beautiful and I related to her way more than I expected to。All three of these stories are great and I loved reading this book so much! 。。。more

Thank you so much @littlebrownbookgroup_uk for sending me a copy of this book - I absolutely loved it。 I love that Ali writes about females in STEM and this is her unique speciality。 I really liked the characters Sadie, Hannah and Mara (this book follows 3 short stories from these 3 friends POV)。 I enjoyed following their steamy romances (🔥🔥)。 I think this book really worked combining these 3 stories and I recommend for a bit of steamy romance!
