The only reason I continued reading was because I normally love Becky's writing. But I was disappointed by this book. Everyone I know who has read this book loved it, so I had high expectations.

But I didn't love it at all. Bare with me, but I'm going to rant. I guess I only rant when I dislike a book.

I didn't like any of the characters. Wait, that's not true, the moms and Reid were cool, but besides them I didn't like any of the characters.

I expected to love Molly. I mean, an overweight, insecure with anxiety who has never been in a relationship before? That's me! (Not counting the 'relationship' when I was 9, which was just saying we were together but never actually talking to each other)

I wasn't a big of the fact that Molly was insecure UNTIL she got a boyfriend. I know the author didn't mean it in a bad way, but I'm just tired of stories where the fat girls only starts liking herself when she got a relationship. You don't need a relationship to like yourself!

Also, the whole 'wanting/needing a boyfriend' storyline annoyed me a lot. You're 17, so? Why do you NEED a boyfriend when you're 17? Wow, big shocker, you've never been kissed before. You're not alone. So many people are in that situation at 17. So many people are in that situation when they're older. I especially hated how others pressured Molly to 'put herself out there' and have a relationship with Will.

Also, talking about Will, what exactly was his purpose? In the summary he is introduced as a love interest, but he is only mentioned a few times in the book? Well, not counting the countless times Cassie is almost forcing Molly to start a relationship with him or talking about how Molly has a crush on Will (also, in front of Will? I am so glad Cassie isn't my sister, I don't think I've ever hated a characters so much that isn't a villain). And after he rejects Molly, he is also never seen again.

I've seen people talk about how they loved Molly and Cassie's friendship. And I'm like... have we read the same book? Cassie treated Molly terrible? She constantly pressured Molly to start a relationship, kept abandoning her to hang out with her girlfriend (ok, I get it that you want to be with your girlfriend, but can't you see how you're treating your sister?) And then later tells Molly she didn't give her enough credit because she invited Molly to be a third wheel on their dates? Yikes.

Alright, how about some positivity?

This book has a lot of representation. Even though they're side characters with no development, they are there, I guess. (Though I agree that just being there isn't really enough.)

I really liked Reid, I thought he was funny and cute.

I loved that the moms got married in the end, it was an amazing ending! Also when they went to the white house and it was colored in rainbow colors in the beginning of the book made me so happy!

Even though I don't like the 'insecure until in a relationship' trope, I loved that the main character was overweight, and it really showed some struggles that I also struggle with. It felt good to relate to a main character about these struggles.

I don't know what else to write. I'm sad that I didn't like this, I was really excited to read this. I think I already said that.
