The two strike a deal: Alex will coach Molly on how to woo Cora, and in exchange, Molly will help Alex prove to her ex-girlfriend that she’s changed and ready for a real relationship. However, as they spend more time together, they begin to realize they might be falling for each other instead.
The story follows two college freshmen with polar-opposite personalities who form an unlikely alliance:
: Shy, awkward, and extremely close to her mother. She has a massive, long-term crush on the "impossibly cool" Cora Myers but has never actually spoken to her.
: Because it is written by a queer couple based on their own experiences, the romance avoids many common tropes and focuses on a healthy, joyful discovery of love.
