"Using lightly funny alternating narration, Lippincott (Five Feet Apart) and debut author Derrick, spouses, infuse the opposites-attract trope with some real suspense via a rom-com starring two seemingly dissimilar characters seeking the same things...the authors build a friendship that feels real while letting readers wonder if the two characters will see what else is possible."--Publishers Weekly

"This sapphic rom-com is delightfully cheesy, fun, and extremely sweet. It also has its serious moments, meaningfully tackling tough topics such as cultural identity and the alcohol abuse of a parent...LGBTQIA+ readers seeking to see themselves represented in fan-favorite rom-com tropes will still very much appreciate this one."--School Library Journal

"Lippincott and Derrick...give the sweet, cotton-candy plot some narrative substance with attention to the two girls' respective struggles with their mothers, bringing complexity to the story without weighing it down. The joyful ending places Alex and Molly's romance front and center, complete with Molly running after Alex in formalwear to declare her love. It's a warm, unaffected take on familiar tropes that will charm romance fans and perhaps entice a few skeptics to give the genre a try."--BCCB
