I’m not normally a fan of the damsel in distress trope, but Hazelwood did it well. Hannah is portrayed as strong, bold, and independent; despite this, we get to see that even the fiercest women need help from time to time. Ian is intelligent, considerate, and apparently gorgeous. I found Hannah was the most relatable of the three Steminist novella leads, although Ian highly reminds me of the other male love interests. While I wasn’t thrilled that Hannah and Ian’s story centers around a general miscommunication- similar to Stuck With You- I enjoyed it nonetheless ❄️
