I wish this would have been such an easy 5 stars for me as it seemed to be for everyone else, but I just didn't love the end.
I really loved all the characters because they were relatable and flawed and I loved getting to know Molly and Alex and even Jim. I really liked that they showed the different struggles the girls had with their parents and going a bit more in heavier topics but never making it outweigh the love story and giving the parent-stories a hopeful conclusion. I think the premise of the friendship between Molly and Alex was so fun because it's like such a convenience thing but then they work so well together. Sadly I wish it had stayed a friendship, because I felt the turn to romance was way too rushed and I just didn't feel it. Before the last couple pages my hope was that Alex would realize she doesn't need a relationship and that friendships can be fulfilling as well for a bit, for Molly and Cora to get together and just the emphasize on friendship. I do agree after finishing that Molly and Cora don't work together but it's just, not the end I was hoping for so I wasn't all that big of a fan of the last third of the book tbh.
