mynonexistentminimalism's review against another edition
I literally couldn't with Mara. The audacity of this character to be mad at the dude who's life she's barged in on. And to imply that he should move out of the house? He was living there for however long, and all the furniture is his, and I'm not an expert at real estate law but I don't think you can just declare your moving into a house if it's occupied even if it's part your.
The whole premise of the book infuriated me and why would I want to read about this smul girl get railed by this BIG man when she's so unlikable.
I didn't bother skipping to that part. I read in other reviews it's awkward as heck.

fjejsiamdnwgaofkwmana. Hi hello. The only way I can respond to this book is to resort to fandom speak. Because *the feels* and *the tension* and *the adorableness factor* can only be truly appreciated in *squee* form. It turns out that Ali Hazelwood could take anything, make it a STEM romance, and I would be left as a puddle on the ground, too happy to care about my new state of matter. Because people, romance novellas are rarely my faves. They move fast, and I'm left in the dust. BUT. What if there was a romance novella with not one but two demisexual protagonists? And what if it were a forced proximity roommates/enemies-to-lovers romance?? And what if it was built on these little domestic vignettes where we watch their feelings grow over time??? And what if they are both such adorable dumbasses that they both think their attraction and affection is unrequited???? Wow, I'm a bit mentally out of breath from all those question marks.
Guys. People. Humans. This audio novella is SO funny and sweet in Ali Hazelwood™ fashion. The narration is 10/10. The scenarios are well-framed and pack serious oomph, including but not limited to a Bachelor-watching session, a "let's use our body heat to retain warmth" moment, and banter around who is or is not stealing someone's coffee creamer even though they don't drink coffee. And we get TWO MORE of these in the coming months. Be still, my heart, etc.
