the only reason it gets 4* is because it ended too fast π₯²
(wasn't trying to make a pun but... kinda pun intended π)
I would like to personally thank Ali Hazelwood for confirming all my prejudices I had against βtiktok sensations', and sometimes even exceeding my worst expectations.
not particularly good, but entertaining enough. endings were all cute. will probably end up reading other things by this author when i can't find fanfic to read

idc what everyone's two and three star reviews say, this was entertaining and fun and so so good. i'm just a girl ok. (also stuck with you >>> under one roof + below zero but i loved all three <3)
If you like Ali Hazelwood's other books then I think you will enjoy these novellas! She manages to cram a lot of character building into such a short space, but it feels natural and well thought out. The only real thing marking this down a bit for me was the references to how small and skinny the women always are. It is getting a bit boring now, and even though this is fiction, makes it feel slightly less rooted in reality. Could do without that part! Other than that, I enjoyed the tropes of sharing a house, being stuck in a lift, and shared workplace all with the background of a friendship group of engineers. I particularly enjoyed 'Below Zero' as Hannah felt distinctly different from many other Ali Hazelwood characters. I also loved the exploration into Svalbard expeditions. I would've gladly read a full novel about Hannah's experiences there!
super cute! wish i got to have more time with each couple, but it was done so well, i also didn't feel like i was missing anything.
Honestly my biggest complaint is that JSC doesn't really do rovers and we def don't lead the Mars ones
I think Ali Hazelwood books are only tolerable to me in short spurts so I appreciated the novellas for that. However, her female and male main characters are always a copy and paste from every other book she's ever written and I'm kinda bored of the predictability .
