Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood
My Rating: 3/5 Stars
Primary Genre: STEM Romance/Contemporary Romance
Blurb: Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn… Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. However, as a woman of STEM she also understands that variables can change, and when you are stuck for hours in a tiny New York elevator with the man who broke your heart, you earn the right to burn that brawny, blond bridge to the ground. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader—she’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee. Not even the most sophisticated of Sadie’s superstitious rituals could have predicted such a disastrous reunion. But while she refuses to acknowledge the siren call of Erik’s steely forearms or the way his voice softens when he offers her his sweater, Sadie can’t help but wonder if there might be more layers to her cold-hearted nemesis than meet the eye. Maybe, possibly, even burned bridges can still be crossed…. To read Mara and Hannah’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof, available now, and Below Zero, coming soon from Berkley!
My Thoughts:
This is the first Ali story that I felt very meh about. The characters weren't well developed, weren't really likable, and the ending felt a little bit like someone slapped a sticker on it that said "done". I'm just thankful that this wasn't a full book because I'd have been very irritated trying to get through it. The MC in particular just seemed boring and unlikable to me. Maybe if it had been a full book she'd have been able to fill out the characters more but this just felt like a third act breakup segment of a full book. I don't have super high hopes for the third novella in this series but I'll read the damn thing anyways. I'm hoping there's a little crossover from Love On the Brain since that MC is employed with NASA, that might warm me up to this novella series a little bit more. All in all, I wouldn't say that this book was HORRIBLE. I don't think that the dual timeline really helped things. I wasn't so disinterested that I didn't want to finish it, but once you solve the little mystery of why the MC is angry with the love interest the book ends almost immediately. So that made it easy to finish.
