I've been waiting for this novella for so long, since i first read TLH last summer. I love this author's writing, it flows very well and the story is very fluffy, comforting, with tropes done well. Everything good from fanfiction but done in an original story.

Funny and perfect for a quick read

Un très bon livre pour lire rapidement. Les personnages sont attachants et on esquisse plusieurs sourires.
Bref une belle lecture rapide !

Une délicieuse et fantaisiste romance ! format très court.

Même si comme moi, vous n'appréciez pas tant que ça les formats courts, ne passez pas à côté de cette adorable romance. En fait, on dirait que c'est une version "courte" écrite avant "the love hypothesis". C'est le même genre de scientifique déjantée un peu naïve, le même ténébreux taiseux, les mêmes copines nerds, et l'intrigue est juste une variante de cette rencontre inattendue avec des malentendus et des non-dits, alors que le lecteur comprend bien évidemment qu'ils ont eu dès le départ un véritable coup de foudre.

Mais voilà, cela fonctionne parfaitement, avec une fantaisie réjouissante, un grain de folie, et une surtout une histoire adorable et très simple parfaitement construite. Ces chapitres chronologiques qui approfondissent la relation entre nos deux héros sont tellement bien conçus qu'ils apportent de l'émotion, une délicieuse sensibilité...

Why would anyone rate this less than 5*??

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 7 mai 2022

You’d have to hate romance. And laughing. And feel good happy endings. And basically bunnies and rainbows and hot chocolate on a winter’s day. Basically, you’d have to be pretty miserable to dislike this book.

First let me start by saying I love The Love Hypothesis. Adore it. It made me laugh, made me cringe, made me curious about scientific terms and weirdly enough, made me miss uni life.

This book, Under One Roof? It might be short but it doesn’t feel short. It packs a heck of a punch, and it was exactly the kind of book I needed after reading some heavy punching YA books (I just finished We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal and before that Steelstriker by Marie Lu). I haven’t read the second books in the duologies yet because I needed a break from all the oppressive weight, and Under One Roof did that perfectly.

I did wish that it had a longer epilogue. More mention of what came of Liam’s job. What happened with Mara’s aborted move. Liam sharing his epiphany when it came to Helena. I also feel that perhaps Liam mirrored Adam (from the Love Hypothesis) a little too much, but hey I’m fine with repeating a proven formula.

All in all, I’ll be reading this one again. Two thumbs up for me!

Amazing Storytelling

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 5 mai 2022

I adored this story - it really captured Mara's spirit and feelings so well. I feel like it would have been better as a full length novel to fully explore some of the subplots that come up such as the awful bosses and would have liked more insight into Liam as the novella ends just as he finds a voice. Even so, a great read and I've pre-ordered the other novellas in the series.

So cute

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 9 juin 2022

After loving The Love Hypothesis, I knew I’d enjoy the novellas from the same author! This was a quick read, I finished half of it during my lunch break at work, but so much drama was packed in.

I really loved the back and forth between Liam and Mara. They’re opposites but not quite and they really fit together nicely.

I presume the other novellas will be about the friendship group and I’m excited the second is already out and it’s not too long a wait for the third!

Enemies to lovers!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 13 mai 2022

I had a feeling this might happen…

I didn’t want this to be a novella, I wanted it to be a full story. The tension and chemistry were building deliciously and the enemies to lovers element was well written and very believable.

Can’t wait for more of Ali’s stories.

Good read but not AMAZING

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 8 mai 2022

I bought his because I love the author and I adore her Love Hypothesis book.
This is a much shorter book with not as much going on. It's a lot more straightforward with simpler characters. I couldn't connect with either characters much. Nevertheless, you can recognise Hazelwood's writing style, which is what makes the book a nice read.
I'm left with several unanswered questions. 4/5 if you are already a fan.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT - Was rather short, wished it was longer

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 12 mai 2022

I absolutely love Ali Hazelwood. And I jumped on this as soon as it was released. I finished it within 2-3 hours as it was 121 pages. It was so fantastic, I only wish there was more.
However I think this is the first of a series of 3 books around 3 friends "Mara, Sadie and Hannah" women in STEM. I look forward to the other two and will purchase immediately.
