Every book in this series was nearly the same. Short and quirky girl meets a tall and stoic guy they have instant chemistry followed by some problem that causes a rift. I did like how (view spoiler) ...more

Actual Rating: 1 star.

I didn’t like this book. Extremely uninteresting. Waste of time. I was bored out of my mind.

Another cute read with a male lead who seems straight out of a fantasy! I looked back at my review of another book in this novella series and it's what I felt about that one too!
The book has humour though and a woman in STEM who really knows her stuff. This makes it a nice read. ...more

Below Zero Review on K-Books

I really enjoyed Below Zero, but honestly out of the three novellas it was probably my least favourite. As we can expect from Ali Hazelwood, the characters were awesome. I love how the main female protagonist was a little awkward and sure relationship aren’t for her. It’s really nice to see a character struggling with that as I feel like it’s really relatable to a lot of people. Likewise we have a patient and understanding male protagonist that we can all fall for.

Hannah Arroyo & Ian Floyd

We're finally at Hannah's book from the trio of friends. It's been nice to get inside her head and discover the type of person she is. I've loved the interactions between the friends throughout the series, but most of all i loved experiencing Hannah and Ian meet for the first time.

That was fun and refreshing, that day the spent together, getting to know each other. I wasn't sure what to expect when she said she hated him, but I should have known it was going to be some ...more

Meh this one made me feel stupid and was too niche. I don't like things that fixate on one topic too much that clearly isn't mainstream. All the sciency stuff was annoying, Hannah is one of my most hated character archetypes (the non-dater) and she's also just so self-pitying it's frustrating. Ian is also one of the most boring males I've read. Unfortunate :( ...more

The NASA talk in this book was a bit too much for me. I liked the story, but it was heavily technical which I didn’t love. However it was only sort of steamy, but full of drama so I was here for it!
