It was really cute! It’s not my personal favorite but I’d recommend to anyone that wants a cute sapphic romcom. I didn’t really like Alex though I thought she was a little too pushy? Especially with shaming Molly for being a wallflower.
When Alex says: “If you spend your life focusing on the never, then you’ll never actually do anything. You gotta cut it out with that self-pity shit. You think you’re this little victim that no one is ever going to like, but how is anyone supposed to get the chance if you won’t even speak above a whisper?”
Like wtf? You barely know her and you’re criticizing her like who tf are you? Idk maybe I’m a little defensive because Molly is literally me but it just seemed so out of place to say??? I mean the book was fine after this but this really caught me off guard and almost DNFed this lol.

I didn't hate this but it was also kinda basic. Idk what to say really, I don't feel like it was anything precious or special, or funny. It was an easy read which is nice but

Thanks to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for the arc!
4.5 stars, rounded up to 5
I really loved this book! The university setting was pretty perfect (I'm a sucker for school setting books); it was a good sapphic enemies to lovers rom-com.
"She Gets the Girl" follows two main characters, Alex and Molly, through the beginning of their first year of university. The two could not be more different, but they work together in order to each "get the girl."
The book did tackle some heavier topics (alcoholism, emotionally abusive relationships, internalized racism), but the authors wrote it very well, and they were a big part of the story.
Both of the main characters were relatable and showed authentic emotions. Each girl had their own respective personal problems/character arcs, and they were complete and satisfying. Overall, this is a cute, feel-good quick read :)
