Review

Loathe to Love You was smart and sexy. These romantic short stories were perfect to read in between heavier fantasy books. Ali Hazelwood's writing is magnetic and hilarious. I can't remember how many times I laughed out loud~

What I Liked:

- easy writing

- funny dialogues

- awesome female characters who were all very different

- empowering plots

- hate-(to-like-)to-love relationships

- the hottest love interests

- forced proximity

- smoking hot sex scenes

- educational with the academic talks

- communication between the characters

- friendship goal

- each story was just the right length

The Not So Much:

- the love interests were a little too good to be true

"I want you to come tome for sex, but I also want you to come to me when you need help with your taxes and moving your furniture." (p. 344)
