Loathe to Love You by Ali Hazelwood
3.0
funny lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Holy shit, I feel so incredibly neutral about this book. I don't think this is as funny as Hazelwood's other work, nor did I get as invested, but it is a very charming book. I really like how the stories are connected through the fact it's about how three friends find love and their friendship is incredibly wholesome. 

My main issue is that -because it's three novellas smushed into one book- you don't get as many cute bonding moments between the MC and her love interest which makes the love interests feel flat. I'm sorry, but being a brooding mass of muscle isn't a personality. That said, nice book, and I liked the story of Mara and Liam best. 

I'm also quite happy we got a canonical bisexual MC in Hannah. Ali Hazelwood has surprisingly good rep in her stories. Now I just need her to write a non-het queer couple and I'll be a very happy camper.
