She Gets the Girl

“If you spend your life focusing on the never, then you'll never actually do anything.”

This book has been on my TBR for the longest time and I am so glad I finally took the leap to finishing it, especially with it being Pride Month.

It was so easy to form a connection with Alex and Molly despite them both being so individually different. Alex had to grow up too fast, spent most of her life looking after her mother instead of the other way around and she had walls so high because she was afraid to be vulnerable so Alex made herself appear like she didn't care about anything. Molly is the exact opposite where she struggles to stand her ground and speak up for herself and she struggles with anxiety. While their experiences seemed dissimilar, their shared insecurity underneath it all is that they both didn't feel enough. I loved that underneath the surface, this book was about self-acceptance and acknowledging your self-worth.

I do wish that there was more time spent on the development of the romance between Molly and Alex. I'm a sucker for a slow burn and I just would've loved to have seen their love for one another blossom more so I could enjoy it further.

Overall, this was a cute read and I enjoyed it!
