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.

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.

Molly shows up at the University of Pittsburgh an out-lesbian, but otherwise closeted--meaning that she isn't really herself, and maybe doesn't even know who she is. She does know she's got a massive crush on Cora, a girl from her high school, who like half of their graduating class is now at Pitt. 

Alex is out--and about. Her girlfriend Natalie thinks Alex is a slut, and...maybe she's right? Alex decides that she wants to prove herself to Natalie, so while Natalie is on tour, and Alex is freshman-ing at Pitt, she determines that the way to show Natalie that she's a good person is by helping Molly get Cora. 

What develops is an enemies-to-friends buddy story, until it starts to develop into something else!

oh my gosh 😭 literally what.

the way i loved this book, like it's actually not funny. i am a hopeless romantic 100%. i eat up the cute little moments. this book was everything to me. i loved the plot, the characters; EVERYTHING.

i loved how Alex's story was told. I loved the character development. I loved the small, cute, fluffy moments Molly and Alex would have. I loved the plot/trope. I loved the slow burn. i loved this book so much, like actually.

one thing about me is, when i read, i paint a movie in my mind. i feel like i just watched the most cutest and funniest story ever, it's so crazy what your imagination can do.

anyway, if you're a teen or just someone who loves all the cheesy romance books without the spice (tho it had very suggestive moments but only 3 times) I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK
