Becky Albertalli presents an extremely relatable main character, who is struggling with changes in her life as well as between herself and her sister. Fans of Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and other cute love stories should definitely take a look at this book. After Molly’s twin sister, Cassie, gets a girlfriend, Molly feels pressured to find someone as well. However this is not easy at the age of 17, she has had twenty-six crushes and no boyfriends. Her sister introduces Molly to her girlfriend’s best friend, meanwhile Molly has her eyes set on her co-worker. I really liked this book as I could fully relate to the main character and her inner turmoils over herself and the societal pressure to be in a relationship. I also appreciated how diverse the characters were, many of them being POC or queer, due to my own belief that YA fiction should include a larger diversity of characters. The plot was well-paced, neither too fast nor too slow. The character development was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a feel-good book. - Anonymous
