This book was really cute! I haven't tapped into young adult in a bit and I just liked how easy it was to read for that reason. One thing I think this book did really well was the transitions and easing back and forth between the romance between the two main characters and their own personal/familial issues. I felt that is was a very accurate and intentional depiction.
For the romance between Alex and Molly, it wasn't super slow burn, but it still took till the very end of the book for both characters to confess to each other. The subtle hints that they were falling for each other was placed nicely so that the end wasn't a surprise, but it definitely built tension and sustained angst.

Definitely really enjoyed this one! The narrators did a great job in my opinion, they did distinct voices for the different characters and the pacing was done well too.

The story was good and definitely made me invested in the (main) characters and the development. Binged it in nearly one go, because I couldn't hit pause except for sleep ;p 
Would certainly recommend this to others, with the recommendation to check the content warnings first.

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.

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.
