3.5

7/10. I was expecting this to be more of a romance book, but there wasn't even a hint of romance between the main characters until about 3/4ths of the way through. Also, there was zero resolution considering the characters confess their sudden love for each other on the very last page. I liked the story of Alex and Molly becoming friends, especially since neither character had any close friends previously but it didn't feel romantic, just platonic, until the very end. There was barely any hint of attraction or questioning until more than halfway through. Additionally, Alex was a difficult character to like. I know she was supposed to be a work-in-progress but she was too prickly for me.
