I enjoyed this. I really like both of the characters and their issues and watching them overcome them, and the fact that it's written by a married couple is adorable.

I was incredibly nervous toward the end because Molly is Alex's only friend. Molly has been reaching out and making friends with a supportive family to fall back on but if they date and it goes bad, she has no one. That stressed me out but having Jim step in and her mom in rehab made it better and the finale was just so cute.

I don't know if I've given a romance book more than 4 stars. It's usually not really my genre, although I dabble in it here and there. This one was so so sweet though. At first I thought it was just okay, and then it reeled me right in and by the end I was absolutely delighted. This was a great little book. I also enjoyed that there were no sex scenes, which aren't usually my thing. 

Where's the Netflix limited series? I need it.

Not as much fluff as I wanted, but it was the gay I was looking for.

4.0

Fue una lectura ligera y sencilla. Los personajes son profundos pero no en exceso y puedes llegar a identificarte con sus situaciones o problemas.

Libro perfecto para salir de un bloqueo lector y pasar un buen rato. Fue casi como estar viendo una comedia romántica (de las buenas) al estilo "She's all that". Tiene clichés como el "plan perfecto para enamorar a alguien" pero se terminan enamorando entre ellas, o que son totalmente opuestas, pero están aplicados de una buena manera.

Punto a favor: Nunca villanizan a nadie, todos son humanos que la cagan y ya está (Natalie es medio mala, pero no llega a ser "villana", por así decirlo).

Recomendado queda.
