Summary

She’s All That meets What If It’s Us in this swoon-worthy hate-to-love YA romantic comedy from #1 New York Times bestselling 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。

Such a cute romance between unlikely friends！！

I thought this book was pretty fun， though I was left wanting a bit more！！ I think both characters on their own were huge standouts--the authors created nuanced and complicated characters with tough backstories and issues well！ I loved reading about Alex's struggles with her mom， who is an alcoholic， and Molly's struggle with social anxiety felt SO authentic to my own experience。 I'm absolutely in love with the fact that this book takes place in college， as I don't think we get many of those。The I thought this book was pretty fun， though I was left wanting a bit more！！ I think both characters on their own were huge standouts--the authors created nuanced and complicated characters with tough backstories and issues well！ I loved reading about Alex's struggles with her mom， who is an alcoholic， and Molly's struggle with social anxiety felt SO authentic to my own experience。 I'm absolutely in love with the fact that this book takes place in college， as I don't think we get many of those。The one place where I wished for more was the budding romance between Alex and Molly。 As they get to know each other， I feel like we don't see much romantic development beyond a couple scenes showing some physical attraction。 I wish we got some more scenes convincing us why they're good for each other， and like each other romantically。I also wished for a bit nuance with Alex's relationship with Natalie， as Natalie's characterization felt a bit out of left field to me， as if the authors were just looking for a reason to get rid of their relationship。 On the other hand， I did enjoy how Cora and Molly's relationship was dealt with， though I wish their final scene was a bit longer！ 。。。more

4。5 Stars for She Gets the Girl （audiobook） by Rachel Lippincott and Alyson Derrick read by Natalie Naudus and Valentina Ortiz。 This was a fun YA romance。 Two freshmen college girls are looking for love。 One girl helps the other to get over her shyness and gives her the confidence to ask the girl of her dreams out。 During all of this romantic practice， the two opposites find an attraction。

She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick， a married couple who have excelled with this endeavor。 It's a romance as well as a coming of age story。 The coming of age far overshadows the romance。 Molly is a half-Korean girl who is beyond shy。 She has just arrived at university and is determined to change her life。 Alex is an uber-responsible girl that come from a broken home， which has left her with an alcoholic mother， whom she takes care of。 She is off to college， too， despite d She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick， a married couple who have excelled with this endeavor。 It's a romance as well as a coming of age story。 The coming of age far overshadows the romance。 Molly is a half-Korean girl who is beyond shy。 She has just arrived at university and is determined to change her life。 Alex is an uber-responsible girl that come from a broken home， which has left her with an alcoholic mother， whom she takes care of。 She is off to college， too， despite drunken pleas from her mother。 She spends her last night in Philly with her girlfriend， who proclaims her love。 Alex can respond， instead running， exactly as her father had done when he left her。 Natalie thinks she's immature and just in it for the fun。 She knows many of Alex's secrets but can't put them all together to really know Alex and what makes her tick。 At the first party of the years Alex and Molly run into each other。 Molly has a crush on a girl at the party but is too shy to make a move。 Alex decides to take her under her wing and get her up to snuff， proving to Natalie that she is not totally self-centered， but can be a good friend。 This is a lesbian romance， not so much different than a heterosexual romance。 The hard part for me is that it's about 18-year-olds。 There is so much angst and drama。 I left that all years ago and am not anxious to go back。 Alex and Molly， especially are well-drawn characters who are perfect for their age。 Alex makes another friend， her boss at the food truck she has been working at。 He helps her when she needs it （with her mom） and kind of takes care of her。 Natalie never even found out about him。 It was a moving story， one repeated in some form by most kids this age， gay or not。 It's all about growing up。 Never easy。I was invited to read a free e-ARC of She Gets the Girl by Simon and Schuster through Netgalley。 All thoughts and opinions are mine。 #netgalley #siomnandschuster #rachaellippincott #alysonderrick #shegetsthegirl 。。。more

After reading the Lucky List， I knew I had to pick up an ARC of She Gets The Girl as soon as it had shown up in my store。 I ADORED THIS。 Even more than The Lucky List！ The two main characters are both plagued by their own personal lives， one having social anxiety and the other being percieved in a way she isn't。 Although it's obvious you can tell that they'll fall for each other eventually， the slow burn into it， the "ping" in the chest when something happens and the confusion that follows was s After reading the Lucky List， I knew I had to pick up an ARC of She Gets The Girl as soon as it had shown up in my store。 I ADORED THIS。 Even more than The Lucky List！ The two main characters are both plagued by their own personal lives， one having social anxiety and the other being percieved in a way she isn't。 Although it's obvious you can tell that they'll fall for each other eventually， the slow burn into it， the "ping" in the chest when something happens and the confusion that follows was something I was dying to read。 About halfway through the book I actually looked at Rachael Lippincott's Instagram and realized。。。 Alyson is her partner。 They're married。 And they LOOK like the characters。 When I tell you I fell even more in love with this book， I can't describe it。 The little pieces of queer culture， the heroine saving herself in both cases， and of course the mention of The Bluebird Theater in DENVER， is just the icing on the cake。I'm trying to recommend this to as many people as possible， especially if they need a sapphic romance that's going to make you feel all fluttery inside by the time you finish。 。。。more

Shy and socially awkward Molly is starting her first year at college， worried about making friends， and vows to be more social and try to get close to her high school crush who is at the same college。 Tall， gorgeous， and outgoing Alex befriends Molly and says she’ll help her get the girl of her dreams， but Molly thinks she’s shallow and obnoxious。 Emotionally closed-off Alex has had to leave her alcoholic mother behind to start college and is trying to prove to her girlfriend that she can trust Shy and socially awkward Molly is starting her first year at college， worried about making friends， and vows to be more social and try to get close to her high school crush who is at the same college。 Tall， gorgeous， and outgoing Alex befriends Molly and says she’ll help her get the girl of her dreams， but Molly thinks she’s shallow and obnoxious。 Emotionally closed-off Alex has had to leave her alcoholic mother behind to start college and is trying to prove to her girlfriend that she can trust her while they are apart。 She thinks helping Molly will be the good deed that shows she can be a better person。 As they spend more time together with Alex coaching Molly on how to put herself out there， the two become closer than either of them expected。This book is told in dual first person POV and reads like a double coming-of-age more than anything。 Most of the book focuses on their individual journeys as much as their friendship。 Molly and Alex have so much to work through to get to a better place emotionally。 It was so lovely to see these young women slowly open up to each other and make a best friend for the first time in their lives。 The romance element is extremely slow burn， mostly taking place after they have a solid base of friendship， only starting about ¾ of the way into the book！ If I were to judge this book solely as a romance， that would not work for me at all。 Way too slow！ But！！！ Reading about their personal journeys to become the women they were meant to be and become such close friends was really satisfying in and of itself。 So if you think of it as a parallel coming-of-age book with a romance element at the end， it’s more satisfying。 It was also a bit slow to get going， I think the first half of the book could have been reduced by about 80 pages and I would have liked a little more attraction between Molly and Alex earlier on to heighten the tension between them， even if they weren’t totally aware of their feelings。 I still really enjoyed and absolutely recommend this book， just be aware it's not a fast-paced or super romantic read。 Steam level: Zero。 It’s YA， 14+， and there’s no sex on or off pageRep: Biracial Korean/white lesbian MC， white lesbian MC， various queer side charactersCW: Alcoholic parent， toxic relationships （not between MCs）， internalized racism （side character）， underage drinking 。。。more

I’ve been waiting to read this book since I saw it on TikTok last year， and the wait was worth it。 The enemies to lovers in this story？ Peak。 Absolutely loved this and want more。 I think my one thing would be the pacing of the story felt a tad slow， but it was honestly just enough to keep me hooked。 So happy I got my copy finally 💛
