This was a fun read! Molly and Alex have a great dynamic, and I loved all of their banter. It was great watching them grow together and learn from each other, and their chemistry is the strongest part of the book. I had trouble really believing Alex' characterization (what high schooler is *that* charming?), especially when it came to her apparently uncontrollable flirting.

I also wish we got to see more of them once they become a couple! The ending felt so abrupt, and left me wanting more. The book touches on serious topics—such as internalized racism, alcoholism, and abusive relationships—but they warranted a deeper exploration to truly do them justice. Alex' previous relationship was clearly toxic, but we don't see her grapple with realizing that — we just get straight to the happy ending. Overall, though, I enjoyed reading this.

I really loved this book! The university setting was pretty perfect (I'm a sucker for school setting books); it was a good sapphic enemies to lovers rom-com.

"She Gets the Girl" follows two main characters, Alex and Molly, through the beginning of their first year of university. The two could not be more different, but they work together in order to each "get the girl."

The book did tackle some heavier topics (alcoholism, emotionally abusive relationships, internalized racism), but the authors wrote it very well, and they were a big part of the story.

Both of the main characters were relatable and showed authentic emotions. Each girl had their own respective personal problems/character arcs, and they were complete and satisfying. Overall, this is a cute, feel-good quick read :)
