WOW i really liked this!! i enjoyed the “she’s all the vibes” but without it being kinda toxic. i honestly really liked both mcs - and the narrators were PERFECT. i think the main things i didn’t like: 1) i wanted more 1-on-1 time with alex&molly and 2) that ending was SO abrupt. some of the fanart though?? AMAZING.

This was a lovely read. A fun, queer "enemies"-to-friends-to-lovers journey ("enemies" in quotations because they don't like each other at first, but it isn't a deep hatred.. more of a lite version). I do wish we had more of "lovers" time, though!

A lot of sweetness, funny moments, banter, and I loved getting to know each character through the dual POV.

Normally I don't like romcoms but something about this really charmed me. The plot itself is a romcom mainstay (the characters are forced to spend time together for a ridiculous reason) but the characters are designed well enough that it feels like something they would do, and the character growth throughout was great.

I went into this book not knowing what this was about, so I didn't expect anything at all. I relate to Molly a lot with her social anxiety etc. so it was interesting to see how she approaches romantic relationships. The leads had way more in common than I thought, I think this story taught me to give a chance to people who are very different from me and to not be afraid to dig deeper. Oh and I love that most of the characters we see are queer and there's no homophobia about it!! As a lesbian I sometimes feel pressured to fill in a particular type, so it was refreshing to read a book where the characters are so different but yet share the same identity😌 I also appreciate that this book adresses serious problems such as alcoholism and one's relationship with their cultural heritage etc. and isn't just a sweet read (sweet reads are fine, but I very rarely like them). Overall, it's a nice book and a quick read too, as I binged it in a day😅
