Reviews
I loved these novellas so much and would definitely recommend to everyone. I loved the 'Women In STEM' representation and the different types of tropes that each couple represents too. I also loved that the stories interlink as they focus on the female love interests and their friendship as well as the romances with the male love interests.
O enredo do livro não me cativou tanto. A garota vivida que não deseja compromisso, conhece um cara extremamente fofo e incrível, o sonho de qualquer uma, e logo vai deixando a vida de solteira. Quis terminar a leitura pelo Ian, ele é um querido, super fofo, atencioso, mesmo quando não deve. Já a Hannah é chata, em nenhum momento eu sinto empatia por ela, eu não acho que ela seja tudo isso, pelo contrário. Não tenho muito o que falar sobre a história, confesso que não me interesso muito por assuntos relacionados à NASA e o espaço.
What can I say? I'm a sucker for sweet romances with golden retriever MMCs 🤷🏻♀️
I have read most of Ali Hazelwood's other books. This was my least favorite. Disappointing.
La autora los hace hablar con palabras técnicas de la NASA y eso quita un poco la fluidez. La primera vez de ellos (en la oficina de Ian) es súper hot. Él es un amor. Novela corta para pasar el momento.
⭐️2.5-3This novella is undeniably better than the other two (Under One Roof and Stuck With You) in the series. The chemistry between Hannah and Ian was evident, and I had no negative feelings toward them as characters or as a couple. They are surprisingly cute together, and I really enjoyed their interactions. Additionally, I enjoyed seeing Sadie, Mara, and their partners interact with Hannah and Ian at the end of the novella. A very nice touch. As far as I was concerned, the miscommunication trope didn't bother me that much. The reason might be that I thought it made sense and didn't feel like it was used for pointless conflict and drama. This is in contrast to Stuck With You, which seemed random and unnecessary.Let's move on to the smut. The smut was simply not it. I found it to be one of the least enjoyable of all the novellas. Out of all the novellas, in my humble opinion, the best novella has the worst, most cringe-worthy smut? That blows my mind. Why was Ian comparing Hannah's body to the topographical features of Mars? I get it. They love Mars and have that in common but why? What was the reason, Ali Hazelwood? Because of how much I liked Hannah and Ian together and their story, I was actually anticipating a decent smut. My confused and weirded out state made it impossible for me to find it funny. Now that I am writing this review, I can see the humour in that smut. That particular scene now makes me laugh.I wasn't really into the NASA and Mars talk and honestly just zoned out, but other than that, this novella was fine. There is no doubt in my mind that this book is the shining light in this short novella series. A 2.5 out of 5 rating would be appropriate for this entire novella series. Not god awful but not good at all. For lack of a better term/word, it was just meh for me.
