Good, but...

Revisado: 07-06-22

There was a lot I really loved about this book. I enjoyed hearing about the food and culture.

I was disappointed that the spicy scenes were behind closed doors.

The narration was incredible. I'll definitely be looking out for these narrators again.

So Good

Revisado: 02-10-22

If you're looking for a quick but satisfying listen, Under One Roof checks all the boxes.
I loved listening to this enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story and can't wait to listen to the other books in the STEMinist series.
Ali's writing is such a joy to read and Emma Wilder did an incredible job bringing that voice to life.

Funny. Snarky. Intelligent. Real.

Revisado: 09-14-21

I devoured the book in one day (in-between family gatherings and kids). I couldn't put it down.

Then a few days later I inhaled the audiobook. GOD I adore Callie Dalton. Hands down my favorite female narrator (not an intentional nod to Mariana Zapata but I'll leave it there to honor the slow burn queen 😂)

Olive is the best kind of mess. She's frazzled from her PhD. She's grieving the loss of her mother to pancreatic cancer (which is fueling her research into easier/cheaper screening methods). She adores her friends and will do anything for them... which is how she ends up kissing Dr Adam Carlson.

Adam is the resident grump/beast - instilling fear into graduate students (but all in the name of scientific excellence, of course). He agrees to a mutually beneficial fake dating relationship with Olive after the whole kissing-incident.

Both Olive and Adam are navigating the challenges and obstacles of academia in their own unique ways - research, funding deficits, grants... i.e. lots of work, questionable returns. But science! Meanwhile juggling their fake-relationship and not at all (!!!) catching feelings.

Cancer is a near and dear topic to me (my mum died of cancer and i am currently fighting cancer) so I was gut punched during several scenes that this was discussed.

The banter and incredible one-liners in this story are perfection. Funny. Snarky. Intelligent. Real.

The relationship between each character and their individual friends is beautiful. The development of their relationship together feels *just so good*.

Read if: you're traumatized from academia and/or a STEM nerd, if you love Mariana Zapata & Helen Hoang, if you love sharp and funny banter, if you like a delicious slow burn with a fun twist on some classic tropes, if you're wild for sunshine/grumpy books.

I'm so so excited to see this book climb the bestseller list. I know its going to be (frankly it already is) a total hit.

Overall score: 5++ (this is my new bible. I will study it religiously)
Smut score: 3.5/5 (slow burn, explicit but not super kinky other than *one* thing that had me going "ohhhh" 🥵🌶)

really cute modern cinderella AU.

great narration.

noticed a few areas where the audio hadnt been edited, which was a shame but didn't distract too much from an otherwise well written & narrated story

Fresh take

Revisado: 07-29-19

I really enjoyed the fresh take on a few classic romance tropes. Flatmates to friends to lovers with a sort of bed sharing situation? Fantastic.

I loved the characters - they felt very real. Flawed, imperfect and relatable.

The Morgan Family does it again

Revisado: 05-02-19

I can't say enough positive things about the morgan brothers series. It's impossible to avoid falling head over heels with each one of them.

If you loved the others in the series, you will also love this one.

Lauren Rowe is an incredible writer - I love all the witty quips, pop culture references and how she writes sex scenes. and not ONLY is she an amazing writer, but she's one of my favorite female narrators.

John Lane is also incredible, especially when paired with Lauren.

As was the case with the other brothers, Jax has his dumb-man moments, but fortunately his brothers (and sister) have got his back and know how to set him straight.

My heart is breaking that we are officially out of Morgan family children to pair off... I can't wait to see what comes next for Lauren. Stand alone Reed?

LOVED

Revisado: 03-07-17

Pregnant with my first, and LOVED this book. As a Brit, living in America I've noticed some pesky things about American parenting.
This is a really insightful story that has definitely changed my perspective on babies and parenting, and America in general. I can't wait to try some of the French techniques out on my newborn.
