I actually liked this one better than Stuck With You. The relationship between the characters didn't feel so forced and it evolved slowly. However, none is comparable to The Love Hypothesis, yet.

I love Mara , just flat out. Her constant over thinking reminded me of myself and either the author is brilliant or also overthinks as well because it was spot on. The tangents were expected from someone who had a lonely childhood. 

Liam is a delight once the initial tension between the two disappears ( which makes sense after all since Mara IS a stranger & he's dealing with some things ) . I really like how it clicks for Liam why Mara & him weren't told about the other owning the house until the last minute lol I love Helena and she wasn't even in the story . 

This is very nice , sweet and short book to read that you can tell the pacing from the time stamps at every chapter.
The sex scene at the last chapter seemed a little fast spaced , honestly I think the book would've been fine without it but I think it wasn't too bad for the pace of the story. The romance build up in the previous chapters even it out for me. I also would'veliked to know how Liam's job hunt went but maybe it'llbe included in the next book?
 

 Overall , Mara is hilarious and Liam's a sweetheart , it's a book worth reading. I'll be reading the next novella.

This was really cute and fun to read. Also it is wayy to short.

As a novella it works but I also don't really know anything about the characters, except for their relationship with each other.

Would definitely recommend if you like Ali Hazelwood though

Okay so apparently I’ve discovered that smart women & forced proximity tropes are my niche, I’ll take 100 more of these please. Honestly a little sad this was a novella because I would’ve read 100+ more pages of this 
*half star deducted for Ali Hazelwood’s inability to write a single novel without a male MC described as huge, massive, looming, towering giant of a man who can wrap an entire hand around the female MC’s waist. We get it, you like giant dudes lol

Unbelievable, immature characters. No plot whatsoever even for a novella. Mara was annoying and infatuated with Liam and how big and tall he was lmao. She fantasized of killing him and cutting his throat over the stupidest things one page and the next fantasized having him screw her. Everything was cringe. This author's works aren't for me lol.

This was a good easy read. Quite predictable, but as expected. I struggle with novellas and short stories and I feel bad about marking the book down for that, but that’s just my honest feeling towards the book. I liked that it starts at the present day and then flashes back, gradually building up to the moment they get together.
Also, is Liam ace? He says he doesn’t like sex, so I’m assuming so. I would have liked for this to be explored more, but I think it’s great that Ali Hazelwood includes asexuality in her stories (e.g. Love Hypothesis)
