Cute romcom. I liked the characters, especially all the little interactions from Molly and Alex and the storyline. Additionally Mollys journey of finding herself and confidents, was really relatable. But I missed a little the resolution of different things in the book.

Molly’s Mom, how Cora was just left alone ,and we didn’t hear anything from her anymore,etc.

But all in all it was a lovely book :)

Quando eu comecei a ler esse livro, achei que seria um livro bobo slice of life com romancezinho fofo que eu leria e esqueceria depois. E mesmo sendo um livro sobre a realidade, ele me surpreendeu MUITO!!! As personagens são reais, eu claramente conheceria pessoas assim (e me vi muito na molly). São pessoas reais, com problemas reais, que agem de uma forma REAL. Quando alguém é babaca, tem todo um diálogo pra consertar isso. Pessoas brigam, são sinceras e mostram que realmente querem mudar. Mesmo de forma sutil, o livro traz pessoas não brancas e pessoas não binárias e pautas importantes de forma muito natural e... refrescante. Mesmo tendo um conflito (como todo livro costuma ter) no final, e mesmo ele me deixando tensa, eu não fiquei tensa de forma sufocante porque as personagens CONVERSAM. MOSTRAM O QUE SENTEM. Não tem um plot twist, não tem vilões, é só... a vida de duas garotas. E isso me trouxe um sentimento muito gostoso enquanto lia. Quase conseguiu me fazer chorar em algumas partes mas o jeito que dialogam é tão bom que até dá vontade de mostrar pra pessoas que não conseguem fazer isso heheh
No fim, amei tudo do livro. Amei cada segundo da leitura.

Everyone shut the FUCK UP this was so fucking good. It’s a whole fucking book with the same energy as ‘How You Get the Girl’ by Taylor swift and Heartstopper but it’s about LESBIANS. Molly and Alex, two lesbians who are heavily based off of the wonderful married authors of this book and their love story (so fucking cute oh my god kill me) are very fascinating characters and do make an adorable couple, especially what with the slow burn and gradual pining that begins to develop over halfway through the book. Like them watching Wynonna Earp together, the dressing room scene, the roller skating date, the scenes in the library and at Molly’s dorm are so fucking cute. Also the fucking character development. These two make each other so much better independent from each other whilst loving each other on the way. Molly grows out of her comfort zone and faces her insecurities and anxieties about herself and how she thinks she is perceived by others, and Alex learns how to love others properly and emotionally and being vulnerable with them and herself about her feeling human emotions and not bottling them up as much. Also a plus: no coming out scenes! They both have major mommy issues though. The scene where Molly’s mum buys Alex clothes and makes her tear up fucking broke me! Also the pop culture references were lowkey tolerable only because of the Wynonna Earp references. Spot on dude. Jim is also lowkey an icon when he stood up for Alex when she was getting harassed? Go Jim!
