ooh, i quite like this one. below zero is def an improvement from novella #2, w/ leads who have chemistry and some solid backstory.
hannah and ian's chemistry feels true and believable despite their initial brief time tgt; idk what it is, it just works somehow. also, it's been a long time since i relate to a character so much. despite the novella's short length, hazelwood manages to juggle both the romance and science, sometimes perfectly tgt. i like how science and the main leads' jobs feel like a natural part of the story, not shoehorned in just for the series title's sake.
it does get a bit tiring and repetitive reading abt how huge the male lead once again is, but hey at least the man's nice (is that a low bar?). anyways hazelwood's writing also flows easily here and it's a quick, enjoyable read.
