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 absolutely loved this book and I am now OBSESSED. Molly and Alex were such great characters, together and apart. I loved the journey's both of them took throughout this story and the growth they both experienced. I really appreciated the important secondary relationships in the book, such as Molly and her mom and brother, and Alex and Jim and her mom. I'm also really glad that Alex was able to realize how awful Natalie was and that she deserved so much better than that!!

Literally loved this book so much. I really loved the chemistry between the two characters and the way their relationships developed as the story progressed. The slow build up to them realizing they have feelings for one another was so well written. I think it makes it even better that the authors for this book are a married couple as well! The last quarter of the book made me cry (positively) and i think this is one of my fav books to come out from the month of May 2023!

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!
