i’m usually not a huge novella person but i’ve been really into ali hazelwood’s writing so i wanted to give this a shot.
i thought, for what it was, the novellas were good. they were engaging, i enjoyed the characters, and even though the plots were predictable i was still entertained.
however, because they were novellas, i think the romances moved too quickly for me. i really like when a book has a ton of tension and buildup before the characters get together, and these didn’t have much of that because of the fact they were short stories.
it was cute for what it was and i did really like that each novella tied into the next one so we still got to see a glimpse of the other relationships.
