On the whole, it was very cute and just what I needed right now. A slight breakdown of each novella getting an individual review:
Under One Roof: Probably my favourite and the most likely to be fleshed out into a full novel. I enjoyed the chemistry and the tension a lot and would have loved to see Liam's perspective of the story. This one got a 5 star for me
Stuck with You: Things I love? The 24hr whirlwind relationship trope! Things I hate? Miscommunication trope! Sadie is so stubborn she doesn't remotely hear Erik out and makes him feel like a monster. Plus they don't even do it in the elevator which as a huge let down if I'm being honest
Below Zero: Least favourite. Didn't really like Hannah much, and didn't feel like her commitment issues were ever explained. Ian was just too good for her imo. Brought the rating of the book down for me overall.
On the whole super fun read, would love Under One Roof to be fleshed out to a full length novel

Who knew I could love a novella THIS much?! I didn't, but frankly I shouldn't have been surprised. It's Ali Hazelwood after all.
Stuck with You centers around Sadie, a green building engineer, who gets stuck in a small elevator with Erik, her former crush who betrayed her.
Below Zero focuses on NASA engineer Hannah and her being stuck in a crevice in Norway when hunky Ian comes to rescue her and she's forced to face all her commitment issues.
Somehow in a matter of only 100 pages, Ali had me hanging on her every word.

happy valentine’s day!! here’s a lovey dovey book that is worth the read!
3 novellas in one book??? yes please! 3 best friends, mara, sadie, and hannah all have their own problems in their lives. but throw guys in the mix and it gets even more complicated. i loved the bonus chapter at the end from all 3 of the guys POVs
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
•under one roof: mara and liam are roommates who have a slight rivalry. and what happens when you live together? you fall in love. and liam definitely fell first, and i mean from the VERY beginning. such a cute and cozy little romance.
•stuck with you: this one was by far my favorite. what happens when you’re stuck in a confined space with the one guy you hate more than anything? the truth comes out and someone, or someones, fall in love. i loved the angst and the slight groveling in this novella.
•below zero: this one comes in 2nd place with being my favorite. in hannah’s eyes, ian is the villain. but what happens when he comes to hannah’s rescue? this novella had a soft boy and a badass female lead and i loved it.

*Sob o mesmo teto:*
Eu achei chato, das 3 essa foi a que menos gostei. Para mim ela não fez o menor sentido, um segundo eles se odiavam e logo depois eles são apaixonados um pelo outro com ZERO desenvolvimento.
Achei que ela acabou escrevendo uma história que deveria ser aprofundada em um conto, essa história deveria ter sido um livro completo considerando o que ela tentou contar, então no final ficou meio sem pé nem cabeça.
*Presa com você:*
Essa eu gostei, foi bem curtinha, mas achei que ela explorou muito bem os personagens e os acontecimentos, tudo fez bastante sentido, com começo, meio e fim bem desenvolvidos.
Esse conto foi bem previsível e simples, mas muito bem escrito, só achei a personagem principal ingênua demais.
*Abaixo de zero:*
Acho que essa foi a história que mais gostei, achei que ela foi a que teve mais profundidade. A personagem principal foi muito bem desenvolvida, com várias camadas para ela que explicam todas as atitudes dela, e fez bastante sentido até.
Gostei de como ela separou o passado do futuro, que de todos os contos, eu achei que nesse foi o que mais combinou e trouxe mais contexto e profundidade pra história. Também, gostei de como todos os acontecimentos são bem amarrados e mostram as consequências de tudo que acontece.
Só achei que o Ian poderia ter falado abertamento para a Hannah do porque dele ter ido até a Noruega, isso fica subentendido o que é legal, mas acho que, para o desenvolvimento deles, ele podia ter falado para agregar na parte romântica da história.
