Not the best romance l, but really interesting characters. One deal with a mother with alcool problem and the other with axiety. Its add to the story. For the love story, it's cute, but not with a lots of angst or poignant emotion.

Ok so...I didn't really have high hopes for this audiobook. Basically chose it as an easy LGBTQ romcom listen in the background. However....I ended up rather liking it. It's cheesy, it's cliche, you know exactly how it's gunna end but it took me along with it and I really enjoyed it.

Why do I keep putting off finishing it? That's the question that keeps popping into my head as I get deeper into Alex and Molly's story. In this story, Alex and Molly take turns telling their story, and it's all about friendship, love, and figuring out who they really are.
At first, Molly seems really nice, and Alex seems kind of mean. But as the story goes on, we see there's more to them than meets the eye. Even though I wasn't sure about Alex at first, I started to really connect with her as I got to know her better.
The story takes place at university, where Molly has her sights set on dating her crush, Cora, and Alex wants to prove herself to her girlfriend, Natalie. But underneath it all, they're both struggling with their own problems. Before Alex left for uni, she had a big argument with Natalie, which made her question who she really is.
As the story moves forward, Alex decides to help Molly win Cora's heart. Along the way, they become really close friends, supporting each other through thick and thin. Molly becomes the first person Alex feels comfortable sharing her feelings and problems with, which is a big deal for both of them.
One of the best parts of the story is seeing how Alex and Molly's friendship grows and changes. Molly becomes someone Alex can trust completely, and Alex helps Molly believe in herself. Their friendship is special because they accept each other for who they are, flaws and all.
As the story reaches its climax, Alex and Molly wonder if their plan to help Molly get with Cora will work out. They're both worried they'll end up back where they started, stuck in the same place they were in high school. It's a tense moment, and I can't help but feel nervous for them.
In the end, tears fill my eyes as I finish the chapter. I feel like I've gotten to know Alex and Molly like I'm close to them.

Couldn’t finish this. Front cover is beautiful and I thought the story sounded good. However, the character “helping“ the socially anxious peer is really just a jerk who’s “teasing” is making fun of Molly for the way she is. Alex seems to think Molly’s quirks are problems that need to be changed in order for Molly to get the girl. All along they’re falling for each other despite the fact that Molly is trying to get another girl, who actually is developing feelings it seems like, but from what I can tell it seems like she’s going to be left behind. Equally wrong is that Alex has real trauma that needs to be addressed and worked out in therapy, but the author seems to be trying to show that just by falling for Molly, Alex’s years of trauma and codependency with her alcoholic mommy are suddenly going to be healed.

No me gusto la forma de escribir de las autoras porque era muy 2014 (vocabulario d película romance cursi como “a 5 metros d ti”) y porque al estar traducido al español las cosas se leían raras y no se tradujo bien/ se pierden algunos mensajes. Tal vez me lo leería si estuviera en inglés, pero igual los personajes no me gustaron tanto

This is an adorable coming of age LGTBQ+ love story between two college freshmen. Both protagonists are dealing with various challenges from their pasts, and both learn to value themselves for who they truly are rather than who they think they should be.
