The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
4.0

Gooey and funny

I really enjoyed this, and to be honest it was the first book I've read that was from the poi r of view (well not exactly the p.o.v) of a lesbian\bi. A book that heavily featured lesbians - well because most of the lgbt themed books I read tend to feature guys. But I loved this so much. I'm glad that it wasn't told from the p.o.v from your typical skinny girl, because girls are so much more than that and Molly is beautiful in every single way. I loved the sister dynamics and I loved loved loved the fact that their family was so special, and their mom's are so fantastic. It was a perfect mix of different cultures and sexuality and it was just so.... PERFECT. It was touching, funny and the way the story flowed was similar to SVTHSA and it was made even better by the abby and Nick cameos. Honestly a really brilliant, easy to read coming of age novel.
