Stuck with You

I was already prepared for how tall and big Erik was going to be, and although I wish we could see differently, I'm not going to penalize the rating based on this aspect.

This is the second instalment of “The STEMinist Novellas” and my favourite (so far).
This book follows the story of Sadie and Erik, both engineers working on the same building in NYC, for competitor companies. The story is told by interspersing two timelines of events - three weeks earlier (when they met) and today (when they get stuck in the lift).

Ali Hazelwood was able to write a believable insta love story which I think it's a feat, especially considering the novella format. Erik was a sweetheart, and I was rooting for him and really invested in their happy ending.

My main complaint regarding the story is the “miscommunication trope” as I absolutely hate it. Moreover, I am a bit disappointed to read another Ali's book with it as I view it as a disservice to the female characters, which are all supposed to be very very smart.

This was an entertaining read and I think it would be a success with readers of the genre.
