Publisher's Summary

She’s All That meets What If It’s Us in this New York Times bestselling hate-to-love YA romantic comedy from the coauthor of Five Feet Apart Rachael Lippincott and debut writer Alyson Derrick.

Alex Blackwood is a little bit headstrong, with a dash of chaos and a whole lot of flirt. She knows how to get the girl. Keeping her on the other hand…not so much. Molly Parker has everything in her life totally in control, except for her complete awkwardness with just about anyone besides her mom. She knows she’s in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers. She just…hasn’t actually talked to her yet. 

Alex and Molly don’t belong on the same planet, let alone the same college campus. But when Alex, fresh off a bad (but hopefully not permanent) breakup, discovers Molly’s hidden crush as their paths cross the night before classes start, they realize they might have a common interest after all. Because maybe if Alex volunteers to help Molly learn how to get her dream girl to fall for her, she can prove to her ex that she’s not a selfish flirt. That she’s ready for an actual commitment. And while Alex is the last person Molly would ever think she could trust, she can’t deny Alex knows what she’s doing with girls, unlike her. 

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.

What the critics say

"A dual narration by Natalie Naudus and Valentina Ortiz delivers a view of two witty young women who are finding their bearings during their first year of college. In alternating chapters, Naudus delivers the words of Alex, who worries about leaving her alcoholic mother and girlfriend. Ortiz renders shy Molly’s anxiety and ambivalence toward her overbearing Korean mother. What’s clear to both young women is their distaste for each other. But Molly acknowledges that Alex can help her win the heart of Cora, on whom she’s crushing. Though the heroines are unaware of their mutual attraction, both narrators make it apparent to listeners, along with their comfort with queerness and their slow path to their developing selves."

Top Tier

Arguably the best sapphic romance I’ve read in a while. Left me with goosebumps and tears in my eyes at the end. This had substance, characters that were well-developed and felt real. I loved it. Also, Natalie Naudus is queen.

Great, but I wish it was longer!

I really enjoyed it! I just wasn't expecting the ending to come as abruptly as it did. I sorta thought we'd at least get a chapter or two after 'the event' to wrap things up.

Crushes & Self Awareness

Will the awkward and quiet high schooler be able to become the person she wants to be and have a chance with her crush at college? Will the confident girl with swagger be able to help and perhaps become a better person? This book is a wonderfully rich story of two young women struggling to know themselves, believe in themselves and have the confidence to be their true selves. Realistic, sweet, awkward, funny, heartfelt and full of truth. A great book narrated beautifully.

Awesome Coming of Age Story

Alex Blackwood knows how to get the girl. Molly Parker not so much. Finding themselves as freshmen on the same college their paths collide. Alex decides to help Molly with her crush as a self improvement project to prove to her ex she can be faithful and a friend. Five steps and they will get the girls. Wonderful writing.

Trust the process

This book starts really slow and hard to find excitement in, but as you read further it becomes deeper and more romantic. TW there is an alcoholic mother and the daughter had to take care of herself AND he mother which is so impossible to imagine for me.
I love the switching characters as chapters because it gives each person a chance to speak their thoughts.

Great book

This is a super easy listen and is a great escape. I loved how it jumped back and forth between characters but kept things simple 🩵

Really fun and enjoyable!

I really enjoyed “She Gets the Girl”. Natalie Naudus and Valentina Ortiz did a wonderful job narrating the story. I was afraid that I would end up finding one, or both, of the girls annoying, but no! They were both fun and likable characters. Molly is kind and empathetic, Alex is hilarious and an absolute mood, and both are relatable. I really liked and appreciated the fact that each girl had their own personal plots and things they had to overcome, and it wasn’t just complete fluff. It did take a few chapters for me to really get into the story, but after that, I couldn’t stop listening! I will say that, like any young adult romance novel, there were some scenes that were cringey.

Overall, it was a really fun and enjoyable read!
