Such cute novellas. They each got more sciencey as they progressed, which I loved. The guys do meet each other in the last novella, which is the best part. Love the strong female bond/relationships the girls have 💕

There were definitely moments I enjoyed reading this but as a whole fell short.
I think, overall, Under One Roof is the best of the collection and Stuck With You is the worst.
It can be really hard pacing in a short story or novella and I think that’s one thing the author did well, managing to hit all the story beats in a shortened amount of time without it feeling rushed. I think the characters could have been developed a little more (and especially the second story’s plot). 
It did feel like, at least with the last two stories, it was the same story of miscommunication with just two different characters. And I really wasn’t into that.

And I’m so sick of the men being BIG. HUGE. Ok, I get it. They’re tall. Go figure. 

But I am excited to read more of her full length novels which thus far I think are better fleshed out.

📖
Overall, I thought this collection of novellas was cute. I like how they were all interconnected and they stood alone at the same time -- and I liked the references to Hazelwood's other STEM novels.

Under One Roof
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I thought this novella was cute. The characters and their relationship were fun. I liked the journey from reluctant roommates to being in love.

Stuck with You
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Of the three, this was my least favorite. It had some tropes that I'm not the biggest fan of. Overall, I enjoyed reading it and I will probably re-read at some point.

Below Zero
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This novella was adorable. I had a wonderful time reading it. I thought the relationship was cute.

Will forever and ever give any Ali Hazelwood book 5 stars. Her ability to craft such deeply relatable main characters is out of this world. And her male love interests? Simply the best. Even in the shorter novella format, I was totally invested in each of the relationships and totally rooting for each of the couples. Her books never fail to make me smile!

Heck yeah.. finally I finished reading Loathe To Love You!

This is so wholesome at some points... and short stories are alwaus great! Okay, lemme break down these things. 

Under One Roof :
This is incredibly funny... following Mara and Liam, I laugh a lot... they really something I looked up onto as the process when I read this book. The ending also did justice to both of them. So sweet!

Stuck With You :
Following this story about Sadie and Erik, I also found this funny in how Sadie described Erik is like a deity because he is so tall (Lol, Sadie). This story is so funny. Hahahaha...

Below Zero :
Back to NASA theme, we met Hannah and Ian. This story is non-other then scientists themselves to begin with with NASA theme. It was challenging but light too at some point. I love Hannah and Ian. 

Above all, the three of them (Mara, Sadie and Hannah) apparently are bestfriends. That was I need the most. Three MCs from three stories are connected to each other. Good job, Ali! Will read Love, Theoretically next!

I really enjoyed this book this book has three small novellas combined in one there very cute short enjoyable stories with some spice not extreme but still some and all these stories are happy endings with no cliffhangers the first one is under one roof the second one is stuck with you and the third one is below zero and every book has about like 120-150 pages i think my favorite is under one roof i loved the rest but i think under one roof is my fav i don’t really have much to say overall i rated this book 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
