The secondary focus on mother-daughter relationships was very well written. Alex and her struggle with her mother's alcohol addiction added a lot of depth to her character and life, as well as a heartfelt depiction of how addiction can tear apart families and the strength it takes to seek help. And Molly! Her anxiety paired with her mother trying to take charge and accidentally controlling her life, smothering her, and making her feel shame for her Korean heritage -- the strength it takes to speak out against a beloved family member is treated well and I related a lot to her.
Also, the fake date? The coaching on flirting? The trust they feel when they get closer, feeling at home with each other? What a love story! I adore these two and it was so nice to read such a lighthearted and hopeful book.
