OMG WHAT IS THAT CUTIE PATOOTIE SHIT, I LOVE IT! 🥰🀩
I might bump this book up to 5⭐ if I'm still thinking about it a few days later.
This book healed me with it's situation with Alex's mother. 
The romance was just TOP TIER for me. Plus, to think that it is the love story of the authors with each other... 🥰❀‍🔥
I was excited to see both of the POVs which is oddly rare for me. 
They both had their personal issues and it's refreshing AF as a lot of books are centered more on one character even though it's dual POV. 
Only downside for me
is that Alex had a toxic trait that was never addressed which is that sometimes she makes shit and then shifts the blame to Molly when a side character notices it.
 
But then again, I think it might be one of my favorite sapphic romance.

This book was really cute! I haven't tapped into young adult in a bit and I just liked how easy it was to read for that reason. One thing I think this book did really well was the transitions and easing back and forth between the romance between the two main characters and their own personal/familial issues. I felt that is was a very accurate and intentional depiction.
For the romance between Alex and Molly, it wasn't super slow burn, but it still took till the very end of the book for both characters to confess to each other. The subtle hints that they were falling for each other was placed nicely so that the end wasn't a surprise, but it definitely built tension and sustained angst.

Definitely really enjoyed this one! The narrators did a great job in my opinion, they did distinct voices for the different characters and the pacing was done well too.

The story was good and definitely made me invested in the (main) characters and the development. Binged it in nearly one go, because I couldn't hit pause except for sleep ;p 
Would certainly recommend this to others, with the recommendation to check the content warnings first.

This is an adorable coming of age LGTBQ+ love story between two college freshmen. Both protagonists are dealing with various challenges from their pasts, and both learn to value themselves for who they truly are rather than who they think they should be.
