Right, what's the plan if it rains?
Our plan is to deny the possibility of rain
This book was adorable, I loved it so much. I was super hesitant to pick this one up because I love Becky's first book [b: Simon Vs. The Homosapien's Agenda|19547856|Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Creekwood, #1)|Becky Albertalli|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1402915678s/19547856.jpg|27679579], and I was genuinely scared this couldn't live up to the first book. But OH MY GOD I was so wrong. There's a good bit of different LGBTQIAP+ representation in this book as well
This story follows Molly as she contemplates yet another unrequited crush, as well as the changing family dynamic as her twin sister gets a girlfriend. I really thought that Molly would come across as whiny with all the unrequited crushes, but I think she's a very likeable character. She is very well-written, and is very relatable in the way she handles certain situations.
So I assumed that this would be a contemporary book that focused on Molly and her love life, and while it does that, it also takes an important look at family. A huge focus is on how Molly reacts to her twin sister entering her first serious relationship, and how that impacts their relationship and what that means for the future. It forces Molly to consider how their relationship will change as they grow up and go through life separately. I loved this aspect of the story, I haven't really encountered it before in literature.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a cute contemporary, and if you have reservations about it, I would definitely give it a chance. This is a fantastic read and I can't wait to read more by Becky in the future.
P.S. Reid is my forever bae

They changed the art style and I really didn’t care for it. I’m hoping it changes back.

I’m finding that when they change the art style, the storylines aren’t as intriguing either.
