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.
