by Rachael Lippincott
She Gets the Girl is a pure delight, a romantic comedy that feels like a warm hug. You follow Molly, who's a bit of a walking disaster when it comes to talking to her crush, and Alex, a serial flirt who needs to convince her ex she's capable of a real relationship. They strike up an unlikely deal: Alex will coach Molly on how to win over her dream girl, hoping to fix her own love life in the process. What unfolds is a genuinely funny and heartwarming journey as these two very different personalities navigate fake dating, misunderstandings, and a surprising connection that blossoms between them. It’s a book for anyone who loves a good enemies-to-lovers story with an opposites-attract dynamic, where the self-discovery is as compelling as the romance itself.
If you found yourself rooting for Molly and Alex and their charmingly chaotic fake dating scheme, you're in luck. We picked these books because they share that same irresistible spark of opposites attracting and the heartwarming journey of self-discovery that comes with it. You'll find more delightful sapphic romances, clever fake dating scenarios, and characters learning to embrace who they are, often with a good dose of humor and a deep emotional core, just like in She Gets the Girl.

This book explores the confusion of first love and the journey of self-acceptance in a way that fans of Alex and Molly will find very relatable. It balances lighthearted summer vibes with deep emotional introspection.
Featuring a protagonist who gives relationship advice while her own love life is a mess, this book matches the 'romance coaching' element of She Gets the Girl. It is witty, inclusive, and deeply focused on character growth.
This novel deals with the nuances of queer identity and the 'late bloomer' experience with the same humor and heart. It perfectly captures the college-age transition and the importance of finding a supportive community.
This story features a competitive dynamic that turns into a romance, much like the initial tension between the leads in She Gets the Girl. It tackles heavy themes with a light, hopeful touch and a strong focus on sisterhood.
Though it features slightly older characters, the 'fake dating to help someone get over an ex' trope and the 'opposites attract' chemistry will appeal strongly to fans of Molly and Alex's dynamic.
This book explores the collision of two very different worlds and the friction that occurs when one person is out and the other isn't. It matches the emotional intensity and the 'misfit' energy of She Gets the Girl.
