It’s a good story, It’s a fast and not a serious novel, It was funny and cute…but
I’m getting tired of the author putting serious conversations between sex scenes. 
SpoilerThat hole thing about “I don’t really like sex” is something that should be talk about before, also I’m assuming (because she also talks about it in her other books) it’s a discussion about asexuality, and yeah aces enjoy sex, but it’s a serious topic to talk between Partners and the author never even bothers to finish the conversation or give it a name.
I don’t know, the story was really interesting but I’m also tired of the confessions been just “look I’m hard of course I want you”

 Wenn ich das nächste Mal denke, ich bin zu sozial inkompetent, um irgendetwas Zwischenmenschliches zu verstehen, denke ich an dieses Buch.

I literally couldn't with Mara. The audacity of this character to be mad at the dude who's life she's barged in on. And to imply that he should move out of the house? He was living there for however long, and all the furniture is his, and I'm not an expert at real estate law but I don't think you can just declare your moving into a house if it's occupied even if it's part your. 

The whole premise of the book infuriated me and why would I want to read about this smul girl get railed by this BIG man when she's so unlikable. 

I didn't bother skipping to that part. I read in other reviews it's awkward as heck.

I’ve heard such mixed things about this novella, but I loved it!

This one did not work for me. 
Mara and Liam had no chemistry and I found both of them so weird and annoying. Also who talks that much during sex? If it had been a regular novel I'm sure I would have DNF'd it. But knowing it was just a short story I pushed through it. I was actually excited to read the three short stories before Love On The Brain comes out later this year but now I'm not sure if I'm still interested anymore. I liked The Love Hypothesis but after finishing Under One Roof it feels like if I have read one book by Ali Hazelwood I've seen it all.
