I’ve been reading the STEMinist books out of order, so after reading Stuck with You last year, I decided to go back to book one. Under One Roof is about a house left to two different people in a will, Mara and Liam.
I think this book had a lot of potential. I actually hated Liam when we first met him, and quite quickly began to like him. I think what hurt this book was the fact that it was a novella. Things went from 0 to 100 between the main characters. When they got together, I actually thought it was a dream sequence for the first half of the scene because of how sudden it was. It felt so out of place.
Hazlewood also tried to give this book convincing side characters, but there just weren’t enough pages to care about them. I wish it would have been a full length novel.
It wasn’t bad, but it was far from her best work.
