Oh, this was so amazing!! - I regret not reading this book earlier. I think I wasn't that interested in the premise when it came out. But reading it now warmed my heart so much.
The cast was really wonderful in true Becky Albertalli fashion. Molly was so sweet <3
Beck Albertalli always does such a good job at capturing the reality of being a teenager. Her writing is just so immersive, you feel so close to the characters and the story.  Molly's story brought up some thought processes, feelings and insecurities from my past, which was a little sad, but also kind of healing? Idk, it was emotionally confusing but ultimately a great experience.
