About this deal

One thing I loved was how much this book not only focuses on the romance but really treats Alex and Molly as individual people who grow and change. How did you develop their individual journeys and make them intertwine so seamlessly? I hang up before she can finish, saving her from having to keep up the act for even a second longer. Next in line is the sweet and awkward Molly Parker, who has her life under control, except when it comes to her social interactions with everyone but her mom. Hopelessly in love with the cool and aloof Cora Myers, Molly hasn't managed to muster up the courage to talk to her yet. Determined to change that, she reluctantly accepts Alex's help and, as they grow closer, she starts to question if their shared journey might lead to more than she initially expected.

You don’t have to be. You were yourself with him. You found something you knew about him and used that to work your way in. That’s all it is. I just want you to be more you, instead of a little ball of quiet anxiety in the corner of the party.” I think She Gets the Girl is in a space that rides the line between YA and adult. People figuring themselves out after the graduation caps are thrown and they move out of their hometown. Books like Honey Girl or One Last Stop. It’s… worth a shot. She’s about to be a sophomore at Temple, and her new dorm is pretty close to the bus station.I couldn’t just tell her how Saturday mornings with her are the highlight of my week. How her lyrics speak to me like no other song has before, and watching her perform makes me feel… light, how for just those few moments, nothing is weighing down on me. I couldn’t tell her how grateful I’ve been these past few months having someone to support me through all the shit with my mom. 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. I don’t even fight it. “Gladly,” I say, plastering a smirk on my face, like I don’t care. It feels familiar, and I hate it. I began to resent the stories with their heterosexual main characters and heterosexual subplots. The idea they enforced that the only way was… well, straight. I stopped reading for leisure. My storytelling obsession would be occupied by kid’s shows and video games, where things like that would remain more or less ambiguous. 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.

Texts like what?” I snort, and turn the phone to face her. “She wished me safe travels and all I said was thanks. Then she’s the one that—”But… what have I got to lose? Shit just hit the fan with Natalie. And Megan’s clearly not looking for anything serious. Would it really be so bad to forget everything, just for a night? There are ten like that. Maybe more. Just some generic description of a girl followed by where I’d met her. Alyson, one of my underrated favorite parts of Molly’s story was her realization over time that you can’t be in love with someone, in her case Cora Myers, if you don’t even know them. But we all idolize people we have crushes on and put them on pedestals sometimes. How do you think Molly coming into her own identity and forming strong relationships helped her see this? Now, though, her voice is cold when she talks next. Distant. “You may have a phone filled with numbers, but at the end of the day, without me, you have no one. You’re alone.” This book has romance, hijinks and the crushing awkwardness of college freshmen all in one. Finally seeing the "makeover the girl to get her love" trope done well is a fantastic bonus too. The writers have clearly put a lot of themselves in the novel and the writing was beautiful.

Una novela fresca y romántica sobre cómo sus dos autoras se conocieron (¿y se enamoraron?) en la universidad. She Gets the Girl was supremely cute. It’s one of those books that leaves you with a smile on your face. And yes, while there’s emotional ups and downs, mistakes and fights on the way, it’s also just super swoony. This is perfect if you’re looking for a queer YA contemporary! Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. Summary Natalie. Come on. We’ve been over this. I went on, like, three dates. Four, max. I thought things were ruined between us. I thought we were done.” I swing my legs over the bed and stand, all of this feeling very familiar, in exactly the way I didn’t want tonight to go. “And only one was with Megan. She means nothing to me.”Stevie and Nora had a love. A secret, epic, once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. They also had a plan: to leave their small, ultra-conservative town and families behind after graduation and move to California, where they could finally stop hiding that love.
