My eyes glaze over as I pause on individual names: Melissa, Ben, Mike. Coworkers that never became more than acquaintances. People I’ve met working behind the bar or at school, each text chain I try to start left empty as I see how I just… lost touch with them, months passing since the last text as I ignored their questions or their offers to hang out, so busy with schoolwork and taking care of my mom I didn’t have time for anything else. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mum. She knows she's in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just . . . hasn't actually talked to her yet. 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.

My head spins as I jog down the uneven steps, my suitcase clunking noisily behind me. I push through the door and out onto the street, trying to calm down, but the warm late-August air only makes me angrier. You probably can’t answer this, but will you ever co-write another book together? (I’m dying for you to but also to read Alyson’s standalone work.)But I didn’t say that. I didn’t say anything. I messed it all up because she asked for the moon, and I couldn’t give it to her yet. Comedia Romántica] [LGTB] [Altamente Recomendable] [La leyenda en sí misma, Sr. Siete-Centavos] [¿Voy a vivir, Doc?] [Los patines son sólo una escena, una escena adorable, pero no es patinaje artístico, ni derby tampoco] The hipster dude clutching an IPA like it’s his firstborn son. The girl wearing a faded Nirvana shirt that screams Urban Outfitters. Brendan, the bartender, too distracted to realize he’s made not one but two rumless rum and Cokes. All of them have their eyes glued to the stage. No. You just … look … you look … really pretty,” I manage to get out, looking at the way the jeans accentuate the curve of her hips. I feel like that perfectly captures the heart of this city, and I hope people find a glimmer of that while reading She Gets the Girl.
Rom-Com] [LGTB] [Highly Recommendable] [The legend himself, Mr. Seven-Cents] [Am I going to live, Doc?] [The rollers is just one scene, a lovely scene, but it’s not figure skating, not derby either] But I have and it was a lot of fun to watch Molly come to the same conclusion. ;-P Those two!! I enjoyed this book so much and read it in a couple of days, which is very untypical for me. This is always a good sign and shows that I obviously had an amazing time. *lol* So what is the book about? Well, I guess you can already gather that from the blurb but I’ll still give you my two cents. In short you might say “She Gets the Girl” is about two girls that try to help each other out, but then accidentally end up falling in love instead. So far so good, sounds like a typical rom-com, but it’s not because the two MCs have quite a lot on their plates. I give her one last glare as I grab the handle of my suitcase, that small smile she gave me onstage tonight long gone, those butterflies from five months ago and every time I see her play certifiably crushed. Then, with all the might I can muster and enough force to piss off old Mrs. Hampshire two apartments down, I slam the door behind me. I’m going to start by saying that my experience with rom-com and lgbt novels is near non-existent. That said, THIS WAS AWESOME. The kind of book I would love to reread like the first time. Molly has my winning socially inept personality, and Alex my occasional boldness and snarky humor, so it was no problem relating with them both. This novel shoved my butterflies all over the place and is as sweet as it can possibly get, without ever becoming too much. I lost count of how many times it made me laugh and smile. Swooning is also guaranteed. Perfect chemistry. Endless supply of quotes and moments to remember by. Una novela fresca y romántica sobre cómo sus dos autoras se conocieron (¿y se enamoraron?) en la universidad.I suspect people familiar with Pittsburgh and who went to university there will love all the campus and city setting details. Fellow sapphics are going to love all the cultural references, from TV shows including Killing Eve and Wynonna Earp, celebrity crushes like Cara Delevigne, and lines like "I thought I told you I'm not a sporty gay!" I also loved how homophobia and even the fact that all these characters are queer are not even minor plot points. Alex is a particular kind of person I have known in real life who is very hard to evoke in writing -- but the authors really succeeded, I think. She's charismatic, flirty, confident, and conventionally attractive enough that she gets attention from strangers. She knows it, and uses it to her advantage when she needs to. People assume she's a superficial bimbo. Alex and Molly are two girls who don't belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus . . .
A familiar wave of guilt washes over me. For those dates I went on at the very beginning, and the times I’ve maybe crossed the line between talking and flirting during my shifts at Tilted Rabbit.Alex y Molly son unas BEBAS. Creo que algo que me encantó es el desarrollo y la profundidad que ambas tienen. Alex es alguien con muchas capaz que se exploran en el libro y aunque haya tenido sus momentos bajos, comprendes por completo sus acciones. Molly es alguien con quien no podia creer lo mucho que me estaba identificando. Quise mucho su inocencia, su ingenuidad, su crecimiento y todo todo. Son una de mis parejas favoritas y dos de mis protas favoritas. Two girls helping each other to make their crushes fall for them? Them falling in love with each other instead? Yep, sign me up! I’m ready.
Great Deal
