The STEMinist Novellas Book 2: Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood

STEMinist Novellas Book 2

Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level.

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…

Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. However, as a woman of STEM she also understands that variables can change, and when you are stuck for hours in a tiny New York elevator with the man who broke your heart, you earn the right to burn that brawny, blond bridge to the ground. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader—she’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee.

Not even the most sophisticated of Sadie’s superstitious rituals could have predicted such a disastrous reunion. But while she refuses to acknowledge the siren call of Erik’s steely forearms or the way his voice softens when he offers her his sweater, Sadie can’t help but wonder if there might be more layers to her cold-hearted nemesis than meet the eye. Maybe, possibly, even burned bridges can still be crossed….

My Review: 4/5 Stars

It's Sadie's turn! And it is another sweet novella in this STEMinist collection. When Sadie meets Erik, it's like everything aligns. They have so much in common, their attraction is undeniable, and they have an amazing day. Until Sadie learns some truths. The story flips between present day and the day she meets Erik and they go on an amazing date. The present day bit has Sadie and Erik stuck in an elevator at work. And it is the last place Sadie wants to be. She hasn't talked to Erik in weeks because of the betrayal she feels toward him the day after her date. But nothing is as it seems as the two are forced to confront one another. Misunderstandings are in the air and Sadie will have to decide just how much she feels about Erik and if things can be made right again. Really liked this story! I loved Erik and Sadie's banter. Now over to the last story and I can't wait to see what Hannah is up to!
