This was adorable, I liked the character growth for both girls. It was light & fluffy, there could have been a little more to the story but it was still cute.

This is such a fun, light(er), feel good read. I'm so glad I chose it for my list. 

Molly is a shy, awkward teenager heading to Pitt for college. Her massive high school crush, Cora, is headed to school with her too. Molly has every dream to make Cora recognize her and start a relationship, away from high school and the awkwardness Molly so desperately wants to leave behind.

Alex is a survivor from Philadelphia. Her mother is an alcoholic and Alex has had to fend for herself for a long time, while also trying to take care of her mom. Alex is worried but excited to get away and get to Pitt to start something new. Alex's girlfriend Natalie is frustrated with their relationship and challenges Alex.

When Alex and Molly meet, they become instant "frienemies." Alex decides she is going to help Molly win Cora over and show her girlfriend Natalie that she's trustworthy and faithful and honest.

Helping Molly win Cora over is no small task, but as the three women continue to cross paths and plan, things change.

This is a low angst, low spice, good story.

Really cute queer recommendation, but it's a slow start and I couldn't really get attached to the characters.
