very predictable, but it was exactly the comfort read I needed 🩷 devoured it in 2 days lol

Love that it takes place in college and that

Molly finds her confidence without needing to change herself.

The premise of this story kept me interested the whole time. The characters never felt over-dramatised or fake, I was rooting for them the whole time. I do think the ending felt a little rushed, but I would still recommend this book!

This one read a little young for me, but I think it's perfect for college-aged people! I think both main characters were well described in terms of their past and how that has affected their relationships (or lack there of). Molly was a bit of a struggle to read as her anxiety is overwhelming (to her), but knowing people who struggle with that level of anxiety I can understand it. The plotline of Alex helping Molly overcome this anxiety to ask out her crush was cute. Overall if you're the right age for this one I think it's generally a cute read, it just wasn't personally a fav for me.

Alex's mom is an alcoholic which is a very constant stressor for her. Molly suffers from some pretty severe social anxiety which she works through the entire book. Molly's mom struggles with internalized racism.

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.
