Three irresistible short stories by the global phenomenon Ali Hazelwood, now available together in paperback for the first time, with an exclusive bonus chapter. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract, and rivals make you burn.... Under One Roof An environmental engineer discovers that scientists should never cohabitate when she finds herself stuck with the roommate from hell - a detestable big-oil lawyer who won't leave the thermostat alone. Stuck with You A civil engineer and her nemesis take their rivalry - and love - to the next level when they get stuck in a New York elevator. Below Zero A NASA aerospace engineer's frozen heart melts as she lies injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station and the only person willing to undertake the dangerous rescue mission is her longtime rival. Ali Hazelwood's latest novel, Love on the Brain is out now.

the only reason it gets 4* is because it ended too fast 🥲
(wasn't trying to make a pun but... kinda pun intended 😂)
If you like Ali Hazelwood's other books then I think you will enjoy these novellas! She manages to cram a lot of character building into such a short space, but it feels natural and well thought out. The only real thing marking this down a bit for me was the references to how small and skinny the women always are. It is getting a bit boring now, and even though this is fiction, makes it feel slightly less rooted in reality. Could do without that part! Other than that, I enjoyed the tropes of sharing a house, being stuck in a lift, and shared workplace all with the background of a friendship group of engineers. I particularly enjoyed 'Below Zero' as Hannah felt distinctly different from many other Ali Hazelwood characters. I also loved the exploration into Svalbard expeditions. I would've gladly read a full novel about Hannah's experiences there!
I think Ali Hazelwood books are only tolerable to me in short spurts so I appreciated the novellas for that. However, her female and male main characters are always a copy and paste from every other book she's ever written and I'm kinda bored of the predictability .
I read this and was bad as the reviews made it out to be.
