Alex Blackwood, reeling from a volatile break-up desperately needs to come up with a way to prove to her now-ex that she is capable of being loyal. Molly Parker has (basically) followed her crush out to college, where she has high hopes of finally getting noticed by her. Helping Molly get the girl may be just the thing Alex needs to get her ex back, but the thing is, they hadn't exactly gotten off on the right foot...
This book was honestly highly enjoyable, which is why it is a 4.5/5.
The characters were quite easy to care for and their struggles apart from relationship things were well written and easy to understand. While I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Molly would follow a crush (who she has never spoken to!) out to college, the book does give explanation for it. The side characters, while not really appearing that often were still distinct and likeable.
Both of the characters' quests for independence were interesting. I think everyone will be able to relate to some aspect of this part of the story, whether from Alex or Molly's side. It was nice to see varied and complex family dynamics.
Alex and Molly were really cute together -- their relationship was brilliantly written and well developed. I really wouldn't say that this was hate to love, it's more of ... dislike/annoyance to love, which is honestly also good. I really enjoyed seeing the girls grow together and come to understand each other better,
The book was well written and well paced -- when the conflict came, I have to admit, it did make my heart twist. I really enjoyed each step of Alex's plan, and they were all distinct from each other.
Overall, this book was great fun! Although I would get frustrated at times whenever a character would be a little too idealistic, that was only a teeny-tiny deterrence to my overall enjoyment of the book.
