LOTS OF MISCOMMUNICATION
Mara has said
something along the lines of "I think I don't have any choice" during sex which is YIKES

But the book was entertaining in audio form

This has to be Hazelwood’s best! The chemistry between the main characters is pure fire. I’m not ashamed to admit I consumed it in under four hours and finished it with a giddy feeling in my chest. Squealing and swinging my feet. I was very happy to see that Under One Roof did not fall victim to Hazelwood’s writing formulas or her habitual tropes. It stood out all on its own with some delightful cameos from a few other beloved characters.

WELL……????

Ali Hazelwood is back at it again with an overly quirky, fast talking, soft tiny human FMC and a pensive, brooding, closed-off giant broad MMC—as is her default. I don’t take fault with that, for the most part. Because I am often attracted to that aforementioned type of man. And I was attracted to Liam. But at what cost?? The ending scene was awkward and kinda weird, which was really disappointing because the potential was very nearly achieved. 

There were things I really did like about this novella, but in the end it was more in a “checking it off my list” kinda way. The buildup was pretty good, as far as Mara and Liam’s chemistry, but there needed to be more tension, more pining. More moments of intensity, passion. Also, less stereotypical steminist propaganda which kinda defeats the purpose of a steminist story in the first place.

It was cute, though. And Ali’s writing is always funny and a breeze to get through. I just hoped for more overall story development and more variety in the characters from book to book.

This one lacked a lot by being a novella. Lots of areas where further development would have benefited the story; I really felt like the whole thing lacked.

under one roof is a fast, lighthearted read that is equally hilarious and feels-inducing. although the novella might not have a lot of meat given its length and i wish the ending was longer + less abrupt, the writing flows well and i enjoy the main leads both individually and tgt. like, it gives what it's supposed to, y'know? hazelwood's def my go-to for sth cute, fast and fun.
