I don't know if I've given a romance book more than 4 stars. It's usually not really my genre, although I dabble in it here and there. This one was so so sweet though. At first I thought it was just okay, and then it reeled me right in and by the end I was absolutely delighted. This was a great little book. I also enjoyed that there were no sex scenes, which aren't usually my thing.

Where's the Netflix limited series? I need it.

Fue una lectura ligera y sencilla. Los personajes son profundos pero no en exceso y puedes llegar a identificarte con sus situaciones o problemas.

Libro perfecto para salir de un bloqueo lector y pasar un buen rato. Fue casi como estar viendo una comedia romántica (de las buenas) al estilo "She's all that". Tiene clichés como el "plan perfecto para enamorar a alguien" pero se terminan enamorando entre ellas, o que son totalmente opuestas, pero están aplicados de una buena manera.

Punto a favor: Nunca villanizan a nadie, todos son humanos que la cagan y ya está (Natalie es medio mala, pero no llega a ser "villana", por así decirlo).

Recomendado queda.

The love guru is in! Brash and bold Alex is determined to help shy and introverted Molly date Cora, the perfect way to show Alex's maybe-still-a-girlfriend that she can do commitment and and doesn't flirt with everyone she sees. But as Alex and Molly become friends, they each realize there is more to the other than meets the eye.
Queer, funny, and emotional, this was a sweet read. I really loved the complex characters, they are all so fleshed out and not just one note. At first I was off put by Alex and her somewhat abrasive personality. But much like Molly, I soon realized how much more there was to her, and why she is the way she is. (And how incredibly sweet, and thoughtful she truly is!)
I am really glad this book didn't shy away from topics like alcoholism, race, and toxic relationships. I was kinda worried how these subjects would be handled, but it was all done incredibly well and realistically. There is no quick fix to getting sober, and there is no easy way to end a toxic relationship. It's important to have people in your life who can support you and point out their concerns and fears with your partner.
I also liked the inclusion and differences between Alex and Molly in regards to how they experience college based on their financial situation. It's not often I see the college experience show someone struggling to make ends meet, and the reality of what it is like to go through that.
A great queer romance, and one I definitely recommend! I can't wait to check out other books by these authors now.

A fun little read. Loved the characters and could relate quite a lot to both of the main characters. A good story about expectations and reality of college/university/after school starts. Some deeper moments and surprising loveable side characters.
