She Gets the Girl

Alex Blackwood is bold, chaotic and good at winning girls over. Keeping them is the problem, and a recent breakup, plus a strained long-distance ex, makes that plain. She arrives at college with a point to prove about herself.

Molly Parker runs her life with care, apart from one thing. She is hopelessly in love with Cora Myers, who is impossibly cool, and she has never found the nerve to say a word to her.

The two meet the night before classes begin. Alex offers a deal: she will help Molly win Cora, and in return Molly will help Alex show she is capable of change. Neither knows the other well, so the arrangement starts as a favor between near-strangers.

As the plan unfolds, something neither expects grows between them. The book is a sapphic young adult romantic comedy told from both Alex's and Molly's points of view, co-written by Rachael Lippincott and her wife, Alyson Derrick. Expect a light, character-led story set at the start of college, driven by the pull between two very different girls.
