Oh my god I loved this book. So freaking much. I feel lucky to have read it early, and also sad, because it's over.
It's a good and well-written book, but I just didn't like it that much. It was a horrendous task to spit through the final pages.

"But I guess that's the thing about being seventeen. You never know what you'll do until you do it."
Molly has had 26 crushes. 26 crushes, 0 actual boyfriends. When her twin sister gets a girlfriend, Molly is a little stumped by her feelings. She's surrounded by relationships.. her best friend, her cousin, her moms (who are getting married FINALLY!).. and then she thinks she meets crush 27.
At first, I couldn't stand Molly. I know. I'm heartless. I just thought she was whiny and boring. However, I was won over by the end of the book. Molly isn't my absolute favorite character (she's very repetitive), but I like the general themes of this book. I loved the ideas of inevitable change and attempting to go along with that change, despite how hard it is. I also liked how realistic the arguments and fights were. It was SO HIGH SCHOOL!
I don't know how some readers (ie actual Young Adults) will feel about this book. I think that maybe I liked it for different reasons. 3.5 stars :)

4.5 stars because I really, really liked this book. Molly was incredibly relatable, and at times I thought it was almost like getting an "outsider's look" at my own life. I experience a lot of the same thoughts and self-doubt and negative self-talk that Molly does, but seeing it from the point of view of this story it was a lot easier to see where Molly's thoughts spiralled a bit out of control. It's much harder in the moment to notice that my own thoughts are being taken over by my anxiety. I also felt like every character in this story could have been someone I know, and I appreciated that there wasn't anything too wild or crazy happening to create drama - it was just life.
“Because I have to admit: there's something really badass about truly, honestly not caring what people think about you.”
I don't love this quite as much as Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, but I still found it to be quite enjoyable. The main character is insanely relatable and likable, I didn't really like her sister though. She was a bitch to everyone through most of the story, which was pretty disappointing. I would've liked more sisterly love moments. The romance was really cute, and enjoyable. Overall a pretty nice story.

Sorry, book. It's not you, it's me.
I've just become acutely aware of the fact that books like this just aren't written for people like me. I'm just not the same person I was >6 years ago. I'm sure teens and younger adults will be able to find this funny and cute in a way cynical old me failed to.
