I enjoyed this. I really like both of the characters and their issues and watching them overcome them, and the fact that it's written by a married couple is adorable.

I was incredibly nervous toward the end because Molly is Alex's only friend. Molly has been reaching out and making friends with a supportive family to fall back on but if they date and it goes bad, she has no one. That stressed me out but having Jim step in and her mom in rehab made it better and the finale was just so cute.

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😅

Okay, wow, I just read this entire book today, in practically a single sitting. I absolutely adored it. Sure, some of the writing in the very beginning felt a bit forced, but once I was hooked I was hooked.

This is a really cute love story, with some of my favorite tropes done really well. I didn't even realize until I read the acknowledgements that the authors are married, which makes it even cuter. I'd definitely recommend this to any romance fans.

And (spoilers)

I was reeeaaally glad it was explicitly acknowledged how manipulative Natalie was to Alex. I was really worried for a minute that we were supposed to think that was an okay way to treat someone you're with.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster for the chance to read and review this ARC.
