I love how Hazelwood's characters interact with each other. Her FMCs are incredibly intelligent, but always slightly bumbling and so relatable. There's humour, sarcasm and a little stupidity, and it's brilliant. I particularly enjoyed how Mara, Sadie and Hannah were all adorably oblivious at some point about what was going on with Liam, Erik and Ian behind the scenes.
Having read a few books with a hefty chunk of smut, I've realised that I'm just not fussed by it. A smutty scene won't stop me reading or enjoying a book, but usually I enjoy them in spite of it - I even found it a bit repetitive in these stories. But it's fine, because thankfully with Hazelwood there's a lot else to enjoy, and these novellas were really fun, with lovely connections running through them that delighted me.

Heck yeah.. finally I finished reading Loathe To Love You!
This is so wholesome at some points... and short stories are alwaus great! Okay, lemme break down these things.
Under One Roof :
This is incredibly funny... following Mara and Liam, I laugh a lot... they really something I looked up onto as the process when I read this book. The ending also did justice to both of them. So sweet!
Stuck With You :
Following this story about Sadie and Erik, I also found this funny in how Sadie described Erik is like a deity because he is so tall (Lol, Sadie). This story is so funny. Hahahaha...
Below Zero :
Back to NASA theme, we met Hannah and Ian. This story is non-other then scientists themselves to begin with with NASA theme. It was challenging but light too at some point. I love Hannah and Ian.
Above all, the three of them (Mara, Sadie and Hannah) apparently are bestfriends. That was I need the most. Three MCs from three stories are connected to each other. Good job, Ali! Will read Love, Theoretically next!

Es war wirklich ein so so gutes Buch.
Die drei einzelnen Geschichten waren jede für sich einfach so süüß und auf ihre Art besonders.
Ich bin nue so durch die Seiten geflogen udn musste mich mehrfach fast einpinkeln vor Lachen. Einfach zu gut.
Die Charaktere hatten alle für sich so ihre Macken und Besonderheiten. Die Freundinnen und auch die 3 Couples waren einfach übel die Cutsies.
Die Geschichten waren sehr leicht und supi für zwischendurch. Es sollte aber schon mit der Erwartung rangegangen werden, dass es ein bisschen cheesy (aber gutes Level daran durch die Humorebene) ist udn die Handlung schon auch predictable, weil sie so kurz sind.
Trotzdem mochte ichs sehr gerne. Auch, dass es in der Geschichten der Autorin immer um Frauen im Wissenschaftsbetrieb geht, mag ich sehr gerne und die Einblicke sind mitunter auch echt interessant.
Bissle Punktabzug wegen der spicy Szenen, weil die meiner Meinung nach irgendwie so unnötig und komisch platziert waren...als hätte die Autorin die nur geschrieben, damit sie vorhanden sind. Hat meiner Meinung nach dieses runde ende ein bisschen weniger rund gemacht.
Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert, besonders wenn man nicht so wild auf 500-Seiten-Bücher ist.
Süße kleine Geschichten, sehr gute Humorschiene.
Och mochte die Geschichte von Mara und Liam glaueb am meisten.
Aber der Epilog von Sadie und Erik war einfach zu gut.

These short stories were such fun reads. I cannot pick a favourite, I love my girls and boys.
Definitely will be reading them again and again when I need a quick romance fix
