Novellas are perfect! I feel like I get just enough without the fodder of too many work related issues and extra characters that detect from the plot. I love forced proximity enemies to lovers and this was done so well!

“Too late. He actually looks…”
“Like global warming and capitalism had a love child who is going through a bodybuilding phase.”

I like the idea of Ali Hazelwood’s STEMinist novellas because they’re still tropey, enemies to lovers and include science/academia plot lines yay! But this was so short that the ending wrap up felt super rushed. Still fun enough to read the other two.

Mara is such a dumb cutie and I can't get over how well Liam fits her yapping self.
The banter and conversation in Hazelwood's novels is superb as always - I would love to have some kind of multi-media version of her writing.
In general, Mara and Liam worked really well together - classic enemies to lovers and forced proximity. Liam fit the narrative of shy-sexy so well and

it was nice that he ended up being a newbie to sex, made him seem so innocent.

3 stars for this quick read.
I love that Ali Hazelwood writes STEM characters and for that I let a lot go.
To be fair this book should have ended before it began. Poor lady get half a house, it's inhabited by super-rich guy who tried to pay her 'more than she'll ever make' umm, you move girl. Take that check. But this is a romance book so of course she falls for him (yet doesn't know it) the moment she sees him. (and he her)
If you've read one of Hazelwood's books before you can guess the description of this guy. GIANT. in every way, basically unreasonably so. He puts his hands around her waist and they touch in front and back ?! Girl, eat a sandwich or run from Mr. Fe Fi Fo Fum!
Anyway... I digress, I did give it 3 stars after all. The bulk of the story is angsty enemies to lovers with a probably too dim to do anything but her smarty-pants job leading lady and a guy who ... well he exists and angsts and broods about without talking about any of his feelings on literally anything. Great communication Liam. Good job.
But those 3 stars, yeah? It's a 'popcorn book' you know when you go to themovies and while the lights are dim and the movies rolling everything seems fun and you enjoy it until the lights come up and you start to recap it in your head? That. That's this book. All well and good until a single brain cell starts working.
It should have ended when it caught up to the prologue. What follows the uniting of timelines is... kind of icky. I wont detail you with exactly how it played out and the number of times I hoped it would end... but ugh. This should have been fade to black.
