Loathe to Love You

the only reason it gets 4* is because it ended too fast π₯²

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 .

idc what everyone's two and three star reviews say, this was entertaining and fun and so so good. i'm just a girl ok. (also stuck with you >>> under one roof + below zero but i loved all three <3)
Honestly my biggest complaint is that JSC doesn't really do rovers and we def don't lead the Mars ones
super cute! wish i got to have more time with each couple, but it was done so well, i also didn't feel like i was missing anything.
not particularly good, but entertaining enough. endings were all cute. will probably end up reading other things by this author when i can't find fanfic to read
