I didn't really have any expectations going into this but I do really like the concept of three STEM friends finding partners in their own novellas. That's to say that I didn't necessarily like all three novellas.
Under One Roof- This felt like an Ali classic and I really did enjoy it, was the first chapter unnecessary and feel like a spoiler? Yes, but I still liked Liam and their slow bond over talking to each other and trash reality tv. Even in the bonus chapter they were my fav, especially with Mara's humor.
Stuck With You- I really wanted to like this one but the time jumps made it super difficult to understand and the whole plot depended on freaking miscommunication. Also I liked Sadie, I thought her superstition was cool but she did overreact when she didn't get that stupid client. Erik didn't stand out to me, he was just kinda there and entirely to patient with Sadie after spending one night with her.
Below Zero- Hannah was prob my second fav fmc, I wish we would've gone more into detail about her problem with commitment but whatever its a novella. Did the plot kinda feel like Love, Theoretically with the mentor? Yeah but it wasn't the exact same so I could get past it. The ending though.. Ive read a lot of stuff and the belly button thing still weirded me out. The main problem with this novella is that I had zero interest in it and didn't feel the need to pick it up.
Overall liked this book of novellas but it def doesn't compare to any of her books in my opinion.

Were all of these the same story? Yes. Did I love each and every one of them? Also yes. If you’re a fan of the formula Ali Hazelwood uses, you’ll love these cute stories about a group of friends. If you don’t want to read the same story three times, maybe skip this one.
Este livro reúne três novelas com protagonistas femininas fortes (todas engenheiras!) e histórias de romance com aquela fórmula clássica enemies to lovers + convivência forçada + tensão a crescer. E embora o estilo da autora seja leve e viciante, confesso que a experiência foi um misto de altos e baixos.
Sob o Mesmo Teto apesar de ter todos os ingredientes que costumo adorar, faltou aquele "clique". A dinâmica funcionava, mas não me envolveu totalmente — achei morna no geral.
Depois veio Presa a Ti, que me prendeu mais. Os diálogos tinham mais energia e o reencontro dos protagonistas trouxe emoção, mas ainda assim ficou num lugar confortável.
Já Abaixo de Zero foi a que mais gostei. Senti mais intensidade, mais conflito real e uma ligação emocional mais forte entre os personagens. A estrutura com os flashbacks também ajudou a criar impacto.
O capítulo extra no final foi um bom fecho para ver onde todas ficaram — um miminho para os fãs.
No geral, foi uma leitura leve, divertida, cheia de química e com protagonistas interessantes, mas sem aquele brilho que faz entrar na lista de favoritos. Valeu pela companhia e pelas vibes românticas nerds.
‘Cause you’ve got that one thing that keeps me coming back…"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — especialmente por Abaixo de Zero.
