I can't believe I finished this in a day, it took me like three the first time around.
Anyway, I'm going to add another star just because!
Also, the fact that I've read this twice and both times were in july

This was amazing, and I liked it more than Simon Vs.
I related to the main character so much, and the author put some of my deepest thought into words. I felt so happy reading this book.
Also, this book has so much representation, it's wonderful. I loved all the characters soo much ❤

This book was super cute and quick to read. I enjoyed most of the characters and having recently read Simon, I loved the inclusion of some of the characters from that book. I do think my expectations were a little high due to me loving Simon so much, though.

My Rating: 4.5/5
Okay, that was adorable and funny and cute.I literally have no words for the cuteness overload.I might have fainted from it too.
It’s no secret whatsoever that I love Simon Vs The HomoSapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli and I was eagerly waiting for her second book, The Upside Of Unrequited.Let me tell you that this book hasn’t disappointed me at all.I had the amazing opportunity to receive an ARC of the book.Thank you, Balzer + Bray for providing a copy of the book.
The book tells the story of two sisters, Molly and Cassie Peskin-Suso who are twins and each of them is completely different.Molly is someone who has approximately 26 crushes but she never had the courage to express her feelings to the said crushes.And then Molly and Cassie meet Gina and well, you have to see where the story goes.
THINGS I ABSOLUTELY LOVED:
🔹 The diversity featured is on point.And I love that the author chose to write another diverse book after Simon.
🔹 I LOVE the characters so much.Molly and Cassie are more like best friends rather than sisters.And being an avid user of Pinterest, you could say that I quite enjoyed all the artsy things in the book.
🔹 They have cool parents.Just read and tell me that you don’t love Nadine and Patricia.
🔹 While I enjoyed Cassie’s cheerful personality, I have to say that Molly won me over completely.She worries too much over her body and that’s sometimes a blow to her fragile confidence.Plus, she is an emoji lover, very much like me.I mean, my texts consist of 70% emoji, so you could say that I was in emoji heaven.
🔹 Simple writing that’s never boring and just flows through.
🔹 Great appreciation for Cadbury mini eggs(yum..) and Reid.Becky Albertalli is perfect with all the food references.Remember that Oreos in Simon?
🔹 Amazing friendships, loving sisters and life lessons.I have learned so much by reading this book, there’s going to be a special place for it in my heart ❤
I wish I could put up in words how much this book affected me but you have to settle for this tiny review and trust me when I say that you will greatly enjoy and love this book.

“I met your dream girl,” I tell Cassie immediately.
“What?”
“I made a friend in the bathroom, and she’s really cute, and I think you guys should fall in love and get married and have babies.”

"Are you still texting Mina?” I ask.
She smiles. “I’m not telling you.”
But she will. No question. Because once you’ve shared a uterus, there’s no such thing as a secret.
🔹 They have cool parents.Just read and tell me that you don’t love Nadine and Patricia.
"Hey,” Nadine says, catching my eye. “You okay?”
“What?”
“You seem, like . . . kind of surly.”
“I’m feeling kind of surly.”
“Okay, well, now you’re smiling,” she says. “Way to ruin it.”

🔹 Simple writing that’s never boring and just flows through.
I’ve never told anyone this—not my moms, not even Cassie—but that’s the thing I’m most afraid of. Not mattering. Existing in a world that doesn’t care who I am.
It’s this whole other level of aloneness.
🔹 Great appreciation for Cadbury mini eggs(yum..) and Reid.Becky Albertalli is perfect with all the food references.Remember that Oreos in Simon?
Reid is flailing at the forty-five-second mark. “Molly, help! They all look good.”
“You are joking.”
“Maybe I just like all frosting?”
I shake my head sadly. “I don’t even know what to say to that.”
🔹 Amazing friendships, loving sisters and life lessons.I have learned so much by reading this book, there’s going to be a special place for it in my heart ❤
“And sometimes that’s just what happens. People grow apart.”
Her words just sit there. And they leave this hollow ache in my gut.
I wish I could put up in words how much this book affected me but you have to settle for this tiny review and trust me when I say that you will greatly enjoy and love this book.

Soooo, I absolutely loved this.
As a fat girl that had a lot of crushes, I connected so much with Molly's struggles and motivations. She worries about how her weight affects her love life and then has to find out that her weight has nothing to do with how most people see her. I loved how most people didn't Care and it made me tear up as she slowly found that out.
This book was super sweet and I loved all the diversity. Racial diversity, sexuality diversity, relationship diversity.
Goodness, I love it, I love how healthy the relationships are and how people address problematic concepts and.... gah....
I'm going to reread this... a lot probably.

2.5 Better then her previous novel, as I found this more enjoyable and I was set to give it 3 stars until after she gets a boyfriend and she looks in the mirror and goes I'm beautiful. All because a boy liked her. That ruined it for me because the way Molly does talk when it comes to boys is that having a boyfriend is like the best thing that can ever happen to you so it makes sense she would feel beautiful when a boy likes her but girl, you don't have a guy be the one who has to validate you.
The romance was just okay, the characters could have been more fleshed out and the story did keep my interest. When it comes to the main character it was okay reading from her perspective, I didn't dislike her but I can't say she's a character that I do. This book was just okay for me.

I'm not sure how I haven't rated this beauty yet, but let me rectify that. I was honored to read a very early version of this book and it was everything I dreamed Becky's sophomore novel would be. Pitch perfect, adorable, wise, romantic, fat-positive l, and feminist af. You'll love it. Yes, you.
