Resumen del Editor

She’s All That meets What If It’s Us in this New York Times bestselling hate-to-love YA romantic comedy from the coauthor of Five Feet Apart Rachael Lippincott and debut writer Alyson Derrick.

Alex Blackwood is a little bit headstrong, with a dash of chaos and a whole lot of flirt. She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on the other hand…not so much. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mom. She knows she’s in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just…hasn’t actually talked to her yet.

Alex and Molly don’t belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus. But when Alex, fresh off a bad (but hopefully not permanent) breakup, discovers Molly’s hidden crush as their paths cross the night before classes start, they realize they might have a common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex volunteers to help Molly learn how to get her dream girl to fall for her, she can prove to her ex that she’s not a selfish flirt. That she’s ready for an actual commitment. And while Alex is the last person Molly would ever think she could trust, she can’t deny Alex knows what she’s doing with girls, unlike her.

As the two embark on their five-step plans to get their girls to fall for them, though, they both begin to wonder if maybe they’re the ones falling…for each other.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A dual narration by Natalie Naudus and Valentina Ortiz delivers a view of two witty young women who are finding their bearings during their first year of college. In alternating chapters, Naudus delivers the words of Alex, who worries about leaving her alcoholic mother and girlfriend. Ortiz renders shy Molly’s anxiety and ambivalence toward her overbearing Korean mother. What’s clear to both young women is their distaste for each other. But Molly acknowledges that Alex can help her win the heart of Cora, on whom she’s crushing. Though the heroines are unaware of their mutual attraction, both narrators make it apparent to listeners, along with their comfort with queerness and their slow path to their developing selves."

Absolutely perfect!

I never ever thought I'd describe a book as "sweet", let alone give it 5 stars. And yet, here I am giving a "sweet" story 5 stars. Everything about this story was just right - I mean absolutely spot on. No spoilers, but the premise, the relationship progression, the character development, everything was just so well done. One of the best I've read in a while, and just what I needed at an especially difficult time in my life. I just wish there was more time with those two at the end. But still. Highly recommend.

It was quite capturing.

I loved it from start to finish. It really did pay off well and I got really into the story and visuals. Except if you pop quizzed me on what they looked like I might fail hard. Cus all I got was my head cannon being shattered by hearing one was blonde. That aside I liked the character development and side characters. I can recommend it. It may even hit close to home.

My only pet peeve was relating the main character's tastes one moment and then thinking they are basic af the next because they can't even enjoy simple art things. And they really got on their "better than you" train about art and music.

Other than that sort scene or two annoying me, I think it's good.

my first YA book

this book was such a cute and fun read for a first time YA reading experience!

Crushes & Self Awareness

Will the awkward and quiet high schooler be able to become the person she wants to be and have a chance with her crush at college? Will the confident girl with swagger be able to help and perhaps become a better person? This book is a wonderfully rich story of two young women struggling to know themselves, believe in themselves and have the confidence to be their true selves. Realistic, sweet, awkward, funny, heartfelt and full of truth. A great book narrated beautifully.

So good!!

Awesome slow burn! great narration!! I couldn’t stop listening, read it almost start to finish in one sitting

Sweet Story

A very sweet sapphic story. Enjoyed the performance as well as the narrative. I’m a bit upset with myself for not having listened/read this story earlier.

Such a cute story!

Yes it was full of cliches and stereotypes at the beginning, BUT it came together so well in the end. Very sweet and cute! 10/10 stars ✨

Super cute and fun read!

Loved this book! A great light hearted story about sapphic love! Loved the writing style and the two characters Molly and Alex’s perspectives!

Extra Cute! and really well done

Really great storytelling, the kind of slow burn you can really savor! The narration was good but some of the voices were a bit samey. Still a great listen :)
