Ali Hazelwood is fast becoming one of my fave authors so I was ridiculously excited when I was given the opportunity to read an advance copy of this collection of the novellas， Under One Roof， Stuck with You， and Below Zero。 These were published separately earlier this year but I hadn't gotten around to reading them。 Given they are connected though I think it's a great idea to publish them together and there's the added bonus of an extra chapter to wrap them all up。I really enjoyed all three sto Ali Hazelwood is fast becoming one of my fave authors so I was ridiculously excited when I was given the opportunity to read an advance copy of this collection of the novellas， Under One Roof， Stuck with You， and Below Zero。 These were published separately earlier this year but I hadn't gotten around to reading them。 Given they are connected though I think it's a great idea to publish them together and there's the added bonus of an extra chapter to wrap them all up。I really enjoyed all three stories and pretty much read the whole book in one go， something which is rare for me in collections。 Each story has Hazelwood's wonderful writing， quirky female characters making their way in STEM， and dreamy guys making their mark on women the world over *swoon*。 I somehow managed to fall a little in love with each of them。As these are novellas they are a little bit lighter than normal on the stem side， with the focus very much on the romance （no bad thing imo）。 It's probably only the third story that has work at the centre of it and because of that it's definitely my favourite of the three。The stories are all a little bit similar， instant attraction， a falling out or miscommunication and then a HEA but there are enough differences to keep you reading。I will admit though that a little more variation in the guys may have been good。 There seems to be a tendency in Hazelwoods books for them to be a bit tall， handsome and broody with the women small and quirky。 Not complaining but would be good to see something different for a change。My biggest complaint though is the same complaint I have with every author I love who writes short stories or novellas， I wanted more。 More characters， more depth just more everything。 Each of these novellas could have easily been a full length novel which would have had me in heaven。Overall though a great collection and I can't wait to read whatever Hazelwood writes next。Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy。 。。。more

First off， I did very thoroughly enjoy these books and look forward to reading more of Ali Hazelwood's works in the future。 I listened to them as audiobooks and appreciated how quick they were。 There were a few times that a *steamy* scene came up out of the blue while I was driving or in the gym and those definitely kept my attention。However， I do have two major issues with them。 The first one being， ALL THE MEN WERE SO BORING！！ Not only did the narrators voice them with incredibly drab and mono First off， I did very thoroughly enjoy these books and look forward to reading more of Ali Hazelwood's works in the future。 I listened to them as audiobooks and appreciated how quick they were。 There were a few times that a *steamy* scene came up out of the blue while I was driving or in the gym and those definitely kept my attention。However， I do have two major issues with them。 The first one being， ALL THE MEN WERE SO BORING！！ Not only did the narrators voice them with incredibly drab and monotonous voice， they had no character or personality outside of their careers and sex。 I was begging for one hobby or interesting interaction。 Please。The other was the lack of size diversity between the three girls。 This isn't something I typically notice too much in books， but I think the sex scenes made this super prevalent。 All three of them were super tiny and dainty and all three guys were super tall and muscular- I'm begging you for one plus size woman or even a couple where they're around the same size and the girl can't be picked up and thrown across the room like a twig。Other than those things， I did have a super fun time reading these！！ I recommend if you're looking for quick audiobooks。 。。。more

Sinceramente， vergüencita ajena。 Obviamente son novelas cada historia， así que son cortas。 Pero pasa todo muy rápido y meh。 El humor meh también。 El sexo decente pero superficial？ No sabría decirlo。 El primer libro el de Under one roof es el mejor。No perdáis el tiempo leyendo estos， la autora tiene otros mucho mejores xddd。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 3。5/5 ⭐Son lecturas si tanta trama lo que resalta aquí solo es el romance de cada pareja y en general todos caen el cliché de que los tres protagonistas hombres son super guapos altos y ricos con trabajos impresionantes， y las chicas son unas recién graduadas pobres pero hermosas y diferentes a las demás chicas 🤷🏻‍♀️ con trabajos super cool。 Mi favorita fue la de Mara con Liam y la que menos me gustó fue la de Hannah e Ian 。

Ella ，

This was my second attempt at something that was written by this author and my last。 Her novels are not for me。 You can obviously tell she has an ideal man type。。。in a weird way。 The characters， the conflicts， the resolution to the conflicts are pretty much the same for all three short stories。 The main characters get annoying， shameful to their respective fields。 These fit better as fanfiction than actual published work。

It was such a quick read！ I always approach this kind of short stories with caution， because sometimes you can't get really invested into a character - once you do， the story ends。 But Ali Hazelwood proved me wrong！ I really enjoyed these novels and wanted a HEA for each of the girls。 It was such a quick read！ I always approach this kind of short stories with caution， because sometimes you can't get really invested into a character - once you do， the story ends。 But Ali Hazelwood proved me wrong！ I really enjoyed these novels and wanted a HEA for each of the girls。 。。。more

Ok given that each of these stories were very rushed， they were sweet enough and I liked the couples enough and was happy they all ended up where they did。 It's also always fun to read stories where a group of friends all get their happy endings。 Ok given that each of these stories were very rushed， they were sweet enough and I liked the couples enough and was happy they all ended up where they did。 It's also always fun to read stories where a group of friends all get their happy endings。 。。。more

3。8/5 stars overall。I read the novellas in the wrong order （from 3 to 1）， but I really liked them anyway。 Good plot， good writing， witty and fun， comfortable; nothing else to say about them。

I really liked 2/3 of these novellas。 I enjoy the light hearted， slow burn with happy ending （no innuendo intended lol）。 Lovers to enemies/ miscommunication trope。

Nicole Morales Arriagada ，

I liked the science best buddies a LOT hope they really het everything they ever want， they already have some stories to tell 🤭 The guys: 9/10 it felt a little bit real that miscommunication has the biggest fault。 They are good， short books that make your heart swoon 💕

I have reviewed each of the individual novellas in this collection already， so I won't go into those specifics here。 Instead， I will take the opportunity to elucidate on what I notice from the author， Ali Hazelwood， across her works up to this point （September， 2022）: what I think is working， what I find challenging， and what I hope to see。 WHAT WORKS: 1） Though it's entirely possible that Hazelwood will run out of STEM contexts for her protagonists to exist in （she HAS already used NASA twice）， I have reviewed each of the individual novellas in this collection already， so I won't go into those specifics here。 Instead， I will take the opportunity to elucidate on what I notice from the author， Ali Hazelwood， across her works up to this point （September， 2022）: what I think is working， what I find challenging， and what I hope to see。 WHAT WORKS: 1） Though it's entirely possible that Hazelwood will run out of STEM contexts for her protagonists to exist in （she HAS already used NASA twice）， I think the choice to keep her characters in that space is completely fine。 It's a perfectly respectable niche to fill， and so long as the variety is still there in spite of the STEM basis， it will be fine if she stays in that space。 I'm okay with authors having a place where they like to live as writers as long as it doesn't render them or their work boring。2） I also think her decision to be unapologetic in her use of tropes is absolutely fine。 I also get why some people are not big fans of this， but I consider it part of the charm of her work， and I think she does a solid job of using them with care and thought without being TOO heavy-handed。3） I also think she is a largely effective sex-scene writer; there is enough variety and diversity of experience in her works where things stay pretty interesting， and the scenes are usually pretty sincere in their awkwardness without taking away from the stuff we like about a good sex scene in a book。 There are some similarities that might get a bit predictable （particularly in regards to the love interests'。。。。 anatomies）， but those are arguably all over the romance genre in general， so it feels unfair to fault Hazelwood for them when she is kind of going with what's expected of her。 I mean， wouldn't it be a letdown otherwise？WHAT'S CHALLENGING:1） To one degree or another， all of her works up to this point （both novels and all three novellas） feature over-the-top communication problems。 Even the least guilty of them feels a bit excessive， and it would be nice if the issues moved away from that and moved into something real and tangible。 This is especially frustrating when the setup for these challenges is often right there in plain sight in the work， but she skips over them in favor of just having the characters think/talk past each other all of the time。 This might be because the more obvious conflicts would present some deep， possibly kind of heavy moral and ethical dilemmas， and I get that， but it would be worth it。 After all， most books feature SOMETHING problematic， right？2） Although I have been pretty forgiving about this aspect up to this point， even I will admit that if her next published work features an oh-so-teeny-girl with oh-so-teeny boobs， all of which the love interests are just oh-so-obsessed with， it will be a bit disheartening。 I don't want to diminish that for many smaller women， having small breasts can be a genuine insecurity and I do think it's fine to show that there are guys who are into that， but beyond that， thin is otherwise the beauty standard， and it could get a bit disheartening for readers to rarely see themselves - and by extension， see an appreciation for their body types - in your work。 I totally empathize with the dilemma inherent in trying to write from the POV of a marginalized experience/identity you may not have， but that could be a space where consulting with collaborators or friends， or simply looking to works that have featured this kind of thing， could be really helpful。3） Her "villains，" when they exist （moreso in the novels than in the novellas） are easy to spot and are a bit over the top in their villainy， especially in these worlds that are otherwise pretty grounded in reality。 I know I shouldn't automatically know he's a villain when I read， "he had blonde hair and blue eyes，" but so far， I do， and most readers probably do as well。 Not only is this blonde-hair-blue-eyed man slander （lol）， but it takes the mystery away right away， which is just too bad。 Even regardless of them being easy to spot， they just consistently lack nuance， which is just boring。WHAT I HOPE TO SEE:1） A new STEM setting - I am confident this will come， but it's worth mentioning just in case。2） Diversity among protagonists - She has included diverse characters in supporting roles， and there is some demisexual and bisexual representation in her main romances， which is pretty good （there is also an argument that Liam from "Under One Roof" is neurodivergent， but that is speculation more than anything， which I don't think counts） 。 That said， it would be great to see body diversity or racial/ethnic diversity in the main love story， either with the love interest or the protagonist （or both）。 I feel this would alleviate some of the angst that some of her readers （including myself） are starting to feel as they navigate the love/sex scenes in her work。3） A conflict that doesn't rely on unrealistic levels of miscommunication - There needs to be a real conflict。 Not， "he's going to think that I think that he thinks that I think that they told him that，" just isn't going to work for much longer （I was hyperbolic there but the point still stands）。 There are all sorts of reasons that people who are in love can't be together。 There are things in life that are fundamentally incompatible with a new romance that could serve as the basis for a real， true-blue conflict。 That would be a nice change。4） "When did you know？" - Though in my other reviews I haven't mentioned this， I think it would be great to get away from the "guy being in love with the girl at first sight" thing for a novel or two。 Sure， he can be interested in or attracted to her， but it's not ALWAYS love at first sight。 In fact， it usually isn't。 It would be really beautiful， I think， to tell a story about two people mutually falling in love at the same time and in the same way。 Hell， maybe SHE can fall in love with HIM first。 Again， just to ground this in reality a little bit more while still making us swoon。5） Better， more complicated "villains" or antagonists - Maybe he's a family man with a problematic attitude， not a cad who assaults the protagonist the second he's alone with her。 Maybe he's an ambitious career-man who doesn't realize that promoting the love interest means taking him away from the protagonist， and is trying to convince him he'd be better off。 Maybe it's something else entirely， or maybe he doesn't exist at all。 If there even needs to be a "bad guy，" let it be one who presents a more complicated dynamic or conflict rather than a weird random toxic thing that happens that brings the love interests together。FINAL THOUGHTS:I have been kind of obsessed with "The Love Hypothesis" for what I believe is good reason， and I have been able to find joy in the Ali-verse ever since， even in the works I was less thrilled with by the end。 However， I do think there will come a point where some of her habits get old， and she'll need to switch it up in some or all of the above ways。 The talent is there， so I hope she can get to that place at some point！ 。。。more

This was ok。 Not anywhere near her two novels。 The romance was too quick; I get these are novellas， but it was just too quick and not enough strong， STEM females。 Just girls falling in love with the guy that they originally didn't like。 My least favorite was Below Zero as the main female character was annoying and self-sabotaging。 These are very graphic， complete smut/pornographic。 This was ok。 Not anywhere near her two novels。 The romance was too quick; I get these are novellas， but it was just too quick and not enough strong， STEM females。 Just girls falling in love with the guy that they originally didn't like。 My least favorite was Below Zero as the main female character was annoying and self-sabotaging。 These are very graphic， complete smut/pornographic。 。。。more

Rachel Matthews ，

I’m glad I read these， I think these novella’s are Hazelwood’s way of experimenting with different types of female/male leads and structures of writing， with mixed results。 There’s a lot of going back and forth in timelines in the novellas， whereas TLH and LOTB follow a simple linear structure。 Two of the three male leads don’t share the same colouring as Kylo Ren （ahaha that never stops being mildly amusing to me） though all the male leads do share the abominable trait of being rather large （in I’m glad I read these， I think these novella’s are Hazelwood’s way of experimenting with different types of female/male leads and structures of writing， with mixed results。 There’s a lot of going back and forth in timelines in the novellas， whereas TLH and LOTB follow a simple linear structure。 Two of the three male leads don’t share the same colouring as Kylo Ren （ahaha that never stops being mildly amusing to me） though all the male leads do share the abominable trait of being rather large （in all areas - uncomfortably so for some unknown reason？） while the female leads maintain short quirkiness。 That being said， I love the friendship between the three girls， the dialogue between them was genuinely funny at points and I’m hoping her future novels zone in on more of that。 I’m also hopeful that she continues to experiment with timelines and structures as well as personality traits and… ahem… sex scenes。 Because， while I find her writing strangely addictive， there is no arguing that she falls on a lot of the same fodder per storyline。 I think ‘Under One Roof’ might be my favourite of the three？ It was more of a slow burn than the others， and I found the chemistry more believable。 While ‘Stuck with You’ and ‘Below Zero’ both followed a similar pattern of a one time hookup resulting in endless pining and eventual get together。 Either way， I think I’m going to keep following her writing for the time being， I predict bigger and better things！ （Not penis related， she can’t write them any bigger。 Please no。 No。） 。。。more

The three novellas in this series， and the book that combines them in one volume， are linked by the lead heroines being former Ph。D。 in STEM roomates; thus the stories work well as stand alones。
