Part of me think that She Gets the Girl should actually be called Mommy Issues: the Book. Alex's mom is a manipulative alcoholic, and Molly's mom is clingy and is dealing with a TON of internalized anti-Asian racism.
Other than the massive mommy issues and Alex's awful sort-of girlfriend Natalie, this book is relatively light and fluffy.
I enjoyed Alex and Molly as point of view characters. They both felt real and flawed without being too complicated. I definitely related to both of them in certain ways.
I wish some of the side characters had been fleshed out a little more and that the book had maybe been a bit longer, but I definitely think it accomplished what it set out to do.
Overall, if you’re looking for a sapphic college story written by a very adorable wife/wife duo (and inspired by their own college romance), I definitely recommend She Gets the Girl.
