This is an adorable coming of age LGTBQ+ love story between two college freshmen. Both protagonists are dealing with various challenges from their pasts, and both learn to value themselves for who they truly are rather than who they think they should be.

I. love. being. queer. Having taken the better part of a decade to get to that conclusion though, younger me would have died for a book like this in high school or college. Something that helped me feel less isolated, less /broken in my small conservative hometown. 

I'm probably viewing She Gets the Girl through rose tinted glasses as a result, but I had so much fun reading it that I can't be bothered to care. Alex and Molly are so cute together, and while yes, of course, she gets the girl, I can't help but think their friendship is more important to the story. They each start with walls up, misconceptions about one another in full force, but as time progresses their edges soften. What would have been an argument previously turns into an opportunity to learn something new, and *that* is much more a catalyst to their growth than any romantic entanglement.
