I loved reading this book so much! I absolutely fell in love with the characters in the book, even though it was a shorter read I thought the character development was done really well. The slow build up to their eventual romance was PERFECT! I also loved the way this book demonstrated the struggles of being a child of an alcoholic. It was also all very real to what starting college is like and the unique pressures that surround it. I also really liked how even though there were characters that did problematic things or didn't get along with the main characters, they were never villanized as all bad. That really helps to humanize characters and made the book easy to understand in these complexities of good and bad. I really hope there is a sequel to this book! I want to learn more about what happens when they are actually together obviously, but also about Molly's dorm friends, Alex's roommate, and Alex's mom's recovery. I will be recommending this book to everyone!
