I hate Big Man Tiny Woman (because i am tall but more importantly because i am an adult, and being a small child in a paternalistic romantic relationship has less than zero hypothetical value to me), and this novella responded to that with 49 mentions of this unholy He Big She Tiny trope. They have a huge size mismatch, the guy is in love for his entire adult life, the girl doesn't notice until the 75% mark, la di da.

Two scientists, one huge, boring, grumpy, mean, uninteresting, i mean crime-against-humanity-level dry (except that crimes against humanity would be more fun to read about) love interest dude, one tiny, quirky, very small, not like other girls, silly, jennifer lawrence 2012 tumblr gal. What's annoying is that i'm complaining about the same thing every time.īECAUSE EVERY ALI HAZELWOOD BOOK IS THE SAME.

like perfectly toasted bagels, or screaming into the void. it's one of life's great and consistent joys. I feel like i've been ranting about ali hazelwood a lot lately, probably because she decided to release a bad sophomore novel and a trilogy of significantly worse novellas around the same time, but that's not a bad thing in and of itself. It's hard to be so short and yet so annoying.Īnd yet, both this novella and its quirky and small protagonist achieve it with what seems like a natural ease. In a way, this book is almost impressive. To read Mara and Hannah’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof, available now, and Below Zero, coming soon from Berkley! Maybe, possibly, even burned bridges can still be crossed…. 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. Not even the most sophisticated of Sadie’s superstitious rituals could have predicted such a disastrous reunion. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader-she’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee. 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.

Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. 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… Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level.
