Well this was just a big queer hug and I’m here for it.
I loved the unfolding of Alex’s and Molly’s story. I think the pacing had a great progression to it. I liked how different Alex and Molly were in an “opposites attract” sort of way, but it wasn’t too crazy where they did end up slowly liking each other.
Besides Alex and Molly, though, I don’t think a lot of the side characters were given much depth? I mean, they are side characters, but I would have liked some more complexities out of Corra (sp could be wrong, I listened to the audiobook, so I didn’t have the spelling) and Noah and Natalie. I did enjoy Molly’s mom and how she had some inner trauma that was explored so she wasn’t just “the grownup” in the story.
Speaking of grownups, how was CPS not called on Alex’s mom?!?!
The unfolding of Molly and Alex’s individual flaws and working out what they both wanted was refreshing. It was explored in such an emotionally mature way.
