That being said — I wish it dug just a bitdeeper than it did.
It’s not until almost halfway through the book that we really learn anything deep about Molly (other than that she’s extremely shy & socially anxious); but some hard information about Alex was given very early in the story. Honestly, I feel like this book would’ve been 5 stars if it were all told from Alex’s POV (and maybe a surprise chapter or two from Molly’s) because that’s pretty much how it felt like we were getting information — learning about Molly as Alex did. So it wouldn’t have felt as lopsided for me.
Also - sticking to the “this should’ve just been Alex POV - we get to see her life and the hardships she deals with more than Molly. Even after learning what Molly has dealt with, it’s pretty short, while Alex’s continue through the story.
Finally, I wish the pining started earlier. They both write each other off pretty early. I know they are both focused on their perspective partners — but I mean, come on, at least make it seem like they are initially physically attracted to one another??
All in all - this was a cute, fun book. I get why people really enjoy it - and I did - I just wanted a bit more detail to enjoy.

Told in dual perspectives, both of Molly’s and Alex’s issues are dealt with by the narrative while still maintaining a lighter tone.
Overall, just a really a cute romance to curl up with on a rainy day.
