I felt like these leads had more chemistry than the ones in the first novella but reading this second also made it more repetitive.
The tropes in “Under one Roof” were also more fun.
Both are forced proximity though one is same house and one is powerless elevator. Both contain miscommunications thoughts Sadie’s is far more glaring.
I think I liked this dynamic better because it felt like there was more drama and also more discussions of engineering (marginally).
The friendship seemed better incorporated here and from the dialogue it seems like the final novella should be my favourite.
I’m going to refrain from commenting on the sex scenes because they just aren’t that memorable.
Reading these back to back makes you acutely aware that Ali Hazelwood has a type. It’s impossible to ignore and I’m getting a little bored of it.
[SPOILERS]
I don’t read much romance is it common to have an author write the same combination over and over again?
I feel like every single thing she’s written so far has been HUGE TALL MASSIVE MAN who has a GINORMOUS DICK falls in love (he falls first of course) with TINY SMALL GENIUS WOMAN who has SMALL TITS.
Is there going to be variety or is this it? I mean Mara had a scar from lacrosse but that was really it for differences.
Where is the range?

I really like Hazelwoods writing style. I've tried to get my hand on het STEMinist novellas, but never seemed to be able to buy them. Luckily my library has them and I'm able to read them. Which meant that I had to start with the second one, but that's no problem at all since they do not follow each other.
It's a great novella and I really liked the story. Why didn't I give it 5 stars then? I felt as if the plot was a little too thick for the novella. There is lots that happened before since the main character already has a certain view on the situation, and we will never know how or what. There are very large time jumps in a certain part which made it a little annoying. I feel like it would have been better if the story was chronological and not the past switching back to the present.

This one was super cute. I love the way Ali Hazelwood writes and the way she builds her characters, so these cute novellas are great to bridge other bigger pieces of writing, and I’m glad to be able to go through them with ease. Plus it helps I really loved both Sadie’s character and also Erik’s massively :) Ali writes some fabulous book boyfriends.
