Okay - this one overall was slightly better than Stuck With You. The protagonist actually described herself as tall at one point, which is a first for Hazelwood. However, there were still a lot of the same tropes present as her other novels.
The main reason that this one was slightly better than the last novella was that the stakes here were a little higher (life or death). However, the fact that our love interest couldn't stop comparing parts of the main character's body to topography on Mars was a bit much for me. I know Ali Hazelwood's thing is that all of her books are about scientists but this was a little much.
Again, this is a cute romance and good if you're looking for something quick to read.
