An excellent sapphic romance set in college, She Gets the Girl tells the story of Alex and Molly. Alex and Molly run into each other at a college party, and Alex decides to help Molly learn to flirt and get the girl she has a crush on, but as they spend time together, they get closer and become friends. 

Told in dual perspectives, both of Molly’s and Alex’s issues are dealt with by the narrative while still maintaining a lighter tone. 

Overall, just a really a cute romance to curl up with on a rainy day.

I was laughing always while reading this book. It was such a sweet love story about romantic love, platonic love and self-love. I would have prefer for another thing for the third act, but it was such a good love confession at the end. I was kicking my feet and giggling.

I wish I had read this book when I was a bit younger, the same age as the protagonists. I feel that way not because this book doesn't work for me as an older reader, but because I think it would have helped and comforted me in a way I needed more back then. This is a solid YA wlw romance book. I think it would make a great movie as well, and it's kind of similar to Crush that came out on Hulu. Molly and Alex challenge each other in positive ways, and it's beautiful to see their friendship naturally grow. I was really rooting for both of them not just in terms of the romance but in their own lives and their individual struggles.

This book has been on my list for over a year now, and it did not disappoint! 
I went into it not knowing much about the story and I was pleasantly surprised by the depth the characters have, and the real life problems they face. 

I wasn't expecting the toxic behavior of the mothers of both main characters to have such a big role, but it was done very well
