Below Zero (The STEMinist Novellas, #3)
Ali Hazelwood
It will take the frosty terrain of the Arctic to show these rival scientists that their chemistry burns hot. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. 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… Hannah’s got a bad feeling about this. Not only has the NASA aerospace engineer found herself injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station—but the one person willing to undertake the hazardous rescue mission is her longtime rival. Ian has been many things to Hannah: the villain who tried to veto her expedition and ruin her career, the man who stars in her most deliciously lurid dreams…but he’s never played the hero. So why is he risking everything to be here? And why does his presence seem just as dangerous to her heart as the coming snowstorm? To read Mara and Sadie’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof and Stuck with You available now from Berkley!

Kick off the convo with a theory, question, musing, or update
Your rating:
Definitely the worst out of all the novellas, & honestly prbly Ali's worst book yet
0sigh. it was fine. once again, miscommunication trope abound. somehow it feels like very little happened. there was less “mediocre white man” feminist writing in the narration which was nice, but the writing still felt really conversational. like fanfic that wasn’t edited very well. felt very surface level and please tell me why he had to compare her to the topography of mars I simply can’t contain the cringe
0Reading this after the Love Hypothesis, I can’t help but think that it’s nearly the exact same story? Same thing, different font! Still, it was pretty fun to read (listening to this at work as a bold move, a mistake even) and I was a sucker for the survival/outdoors aspect of it. I’m over Hazelwood’s near constant description of how big the male lead is and how small the female lead is. Just once is describing your characters, but this many times in this many books feels like she’s pushing her size kink on the rest of us! What happened to show don’t tell lol.
