Alex is terrified of letting people get close and spends her life running. Molly is a ball of social anxiety who wants to be a brand new person in university.
Alex hopes to impress her (ex)girlfriend by helping Molly get her dream girl and proving she can be a good person.

This book was just everything. Enemies to friends to lovers. Dual perspective. Laughs and tears and me yelling at the book like the main characters could hear me.

I am obsessed.

This book reads like a cute short romcom movie. It has its high points and its low points. For me the beginning was definitely the high and I got a bit less interested as the romance portion started to really show its teeth.

I was more interested in Alex’s storyline as it felt like it was actually given its dues. Molly’s storyline felt a bit less fleshed out and also resolved extremely easily for the amount of time it was given to build up. There were also one or two scenes I personally didn’t like and annoyed me.

These types of books are not my bread and butter so I wasn’t actively invested when I read it. Often our main mcs personalities would disappear in order to fall into cliche or to reach the actual “falling in love” portion of the book. Which was a bit of a downer and threw me out very quickly. Overall, it was an okay read and I’m glad for the romance lesbian rep irregardless.
