She Gets the Girl
Synopsis
Alex Blackwood is bold, chaotic, and great at getting girls — just not at keeping them, as her fresh breakup and strained long-distance ex prove. Molly Parker has her whole life under control except for one thing: she's hopelessly in love with the impossibly cool Cora Myers and has never worked up the nerve to actually talk to her.
When their paths cross the night before their first day of college, Alex strikes a deal: she'll help Molly win Cora over, and in exchange, Molly will help Alex prove she can actually change. As the plan unfolds, what starts as a favor between near-strangers turns into something neither of them expected — a genuine, growing connection between the two of them. A dual-POV sapphic YA rom-com co-written by Rachael Lippincott and her wife, Alyson Derrick.
