Review: “Under One Roof” is the perfect novella to read on a rainy day!
Hazelwood writes from Mara’s point-of-view as she navigates life as an environmental scientist working for the Environmental Protection Agency. Like “The Love Hypothesis,” Mara identifies as demisexual and is a woman in academia that faces hardships in a field that previously favored men in STEM. Hazelwood’s choice to broach topics like workplace inequity in her literary works start conversations that need to be had in order to instill change, which is extremely important. In addition, characters like Mara and Olive are crucial in giving readers hoping to pursue a career in a similar field a role model to look up too.
My only issue with this novella is it’s length, because I WANT MORE! Had “Under One Roof” been written as a novel, Mara and Liam’s development from enemies to lovers would not have felt as rushed. Nevertheless, this steminist novella is a fun and spicy read!
