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.

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!!
