When I heard that Ali Hazelwood wrote a collection of rom com short fiction, I thought, how is she going to cram all that will-they-won't-they tension into a hundred words? Because that's the average length of each novella. But -- spoiler alert! -- the trio of tales in Loathe to Love You delivers all the slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance of a full-length novel without the pesky backslide into conflict. Three engineer besties battle the patriarchy -- and themselves -- to find bliss with their nerds in shining armor. As with every Hazelwood heartthrob, these dudes are no poindexters, boasting, along with mega-brains, brawn. Better yet, they aren't afraid to use their most important body parts of all: their ears. Because there are few things more seductive than a man who actually listens.
What more can a modern woman want?
