Summary:

Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love—she’s lived through it twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in secret. Because no matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can’t stomach the idea of rejection. So she’s careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.

Then a cute new girl enters Cassie’s orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly’s cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly’s totally not dying of loneliness—except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie’s new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. Will is funny and flirtatious and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And if Molly can win him over, she’ll get her first kiss and she’ll get her twin back.

There’s only one problem: Molly’s coworker Reid. He’s an awkward Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there’s absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?        

My Thoughts:

I had this book on my tbr for a while before I got to reading it. I’m glad that I waited.

Molly was an amazing leading lady. She was very relatable which I enjoy when I read a book. she’s crafty with all the things that she makes from Pinterest. I think out off all the things that she made my favourite was the safe to eat cookie dough. I thought the idea was so great that I made some myself and it was delish. Molly has a never had a boyfriend, but she has had crushes and a lot of them. She’s never had a boyfriend because of fear of rejection.

Then comes Reid he isn’t the type that Molly usually has crushes on, but there’s something special about Reid that she likes. It could be that he’s funny, nerdy and sweet.

I loved Reid’s and Molly’s relationship it made me laugh and smile like crazy.

This book has a lot of great messages in it. I think everyone should pick this book up.
