I really liked this book. It was cute and sweet and just the right enough of tension to keep me interested. I was quite bored at times with this book as the beginning of each novella was quite slow and only really picked up at the end. The miscommunication trope in each novella was quite annoying and I didn't love it as it seems the characters went from 0 to 100 every time something went wrong.
Under One Roof
I liked Mara and Liam as a couple but the way they went from hating each other to completely in love was far too rushed. Even though it's a novella, I wish their story was a bit more slow burn and not slow then super fast. The ending felt so rushed and there were so many times when I found Liam annoying. How is a girl supposed to know if you like her if you sigh and ignore her all day and literally tried to pay her to leave? I think I would have preferred more communication from Liam about his personal life. I think there's more to be said about his relationship with Helena and how it's affected his life.
Stuck With You
I love Sadie as a character, she was so fierce and delicate at the same time. I hated how she just ignored Erik and let her boss get into her head. Yes, she should have been more careful about "exposing" company secrets but it's not like Erik's company couldn't have come up with that proposal themselves. She should have at least let Erik explain instead of ignoring the hundreds of messages and calls. Also why is she so hung up on this man, like girl...he's just a man. You spent one day with him, he "betrayed" you - move on. I also loved at the end how she stood up to Erik's brother - homeboy abandoned his cat and then expected to talk him home? No sir, that's Sadie's cat now.
Below Zero
Hannah and Ian were cute. I liked how even though they had an almost fling 5 years prior but didn't get hung up on it. Completely the opposite of Sadie and Erik - they both moved on with their lives. I think Hannah was by far the more relatable character because of how human she seemed. She was lost as a teenager, didn't care about anything, ignored by her family and then found the thing that she loved and decided to make it her future. I think we can all relate to that feeling of being ignored, always second best and never enough but when it comes to that one thing that we love - it's like all those voices are silenced. I know we say "I never need a man to save me" but I'm quite happy that Ian did save Hannah and was there not because he didn't think she could do it but because he was genuinely worried for and about her.

Will forever and ever give any Ali Hazelwood book 5 stars. Her ability to craft such deeply relatable main characters is out of this world. And her male love interests? Simply the best. Even in the shorter novella format, I was totally invested in each of the relationships and totally rooting for each of the couples. Her books never fail to make me smile!

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!

I really enjoyed this book this book has three small novellas combined in one there very cute short enjoyable stories with some spice not extreme but still some and all these stories are happy endings with no cliffhangers the first one is under one roof the second one is stuck with you and the third one is below zero and every book has about like 120-150 pages i think my favorite is under one roof i loved the rest but i think under one roof is my fav i don’t really have much to say overall i rated this book 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
