General Description: College can mean a lot to different people, but for both Molly and Alex, it's a chance to be themselves, away from their homelives. Molly gets to explore who she is without her mother hovering around every corner. Alex gets to explore who she is but still worries her mom is going to drink herself to death. however, Alex does want to hold onto a piece of her home: her girlfriend Natalie. And of course, before Alex left, Natalie said Alex was too flirty with other girls. Well, Alex wants to use MOlly to prove Natalie wrong. It's Alex's mission to help Molly get her girl: Cora. Molly has been pining after Cora for four years and after one party, Alex decides it's time for Molly to fulfill all her dreams. But will Molly's dreams stay the same?
All the good:
- I need this as a film b/c it gives me all the comfy rom-com vibes
- I like the natural progression of Alex and Molly
- I think the side characters (good and bad) were written in a very realistic way, I could picture them in my head so vividly
- I feel like the scenes in this book were extremely well crafted and felt down to earth for a college based novel.
The half-star loss:
- The subplot with Molly's mother to me could have been left out. There was already so much going on, I think if her mother was not a character we see in the book, it would have made no difference. Her mother left me feeling uncomfortable and confused.
Overall: If you're looking for a rom-com WLW book, this fits the bill.
