It was… fine. I appreciate that the authors didn’t shy away from the word “lesbian”. Would have liked to have seen Molly’s relationship with her mom fleshed out better. Wasn’t a huge fan of the way Alex’s mom’s alcoholism was handled. If I ever read the word BookTok in a book again though I’ll cry.
Not sure why this is classified as YA, given that they’re both 18.
I didn’t see any of the cheating that Natalie was concerned about - Alex works for tips, so.
