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 is a perfect enemies-to-friends-to-lovers sapphic romance. Molly is riddled with anxiety, nursing a hopeless crush. Alex's easy-going, flirtatious attitude belies real pain. When Alex offers to help Molly 'get the girl' in an attempt to prove to her estranged girlfriend that she can indeed have a real friendship, the two instantly butt heads. But as Molly becomes a braver version of herself, and Alex starts to open up, the two become friends. Slowly, they each start to realise that the girl they were trying to get isn't exactly what they're looking for - and maybe their new friend is.
