wahhh this was so cute!! i loved how a pretty normal (but clearly personal) setting was enhanced by the characters, i loved molly and alex aswell as their development- which was a bit on the nose and sort of told not shown a bit- but within the perspective of the characters and being in those realization moments makes sense. Highly Recommend

This book literary had me blushing, giggling, and kicking my feet the first time I read it. It’s honestly a bit embarrassing how into it I got, but it’s way more impressive than it is embarrassing. I loved these characters and was always rooting for them and their happiness. A very very fun read!!

I kept putting this book off for so long but once I started reading I didn’t want to put it down. This book was so much fun and I really enjoyed reading it. I loved seeing Molly grow more comfortable being herself and I also loved seeing Alex change and learn to let others in. I wish we got to see more of them together after the final chapter but overall this book was really sweet and I can’t wait to see what the author writes next!

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.
