I love Becky Albertalli's contemporary stories so I could not wait to listen to The Upside of Unrequited when I saw it on Storytel.

This book is great in diversity so that is also a plus :)

Molly was a very relatable character. I understood her doubts because many were ones I have faced or because they are doubts I am facing right now. I just totally got the wanting for a boyfriend and I am glad that the message of this book was that that is totally fine.
This love triangle was understandable for once (yay) so I did not mind it as much as I normally do.
The story is set during the summer of 2015 when gay marriage finally is legalized in the US. To the joy of Molly and Cassie, whose moms are finally able to get married. And this joy that their parents could finally get married was new for me because I live in the Netherlands, where gay marriage has been legal since April 2001. Thus, for me, it is very normal that this is a possibility.
The relationship between Molly and Cassie was also something I could relate to, having a sister of my own.

I definitely would recommend this book.
