I was surprised to find out it's a good book. Leah is interesting and genuine character. I was pretty into it until it turned into an Abby dedication thing.

Abby!

I can't process this that well, the first book Leah hates her because she likes Nick and Nick likes Abby, but now she likes her from the beginning? How can you crush on a girlfriend and her boyfriend at the same time? why is this acceptable as a story line?

All in all, the writing was great, the main character was interesting, but the plot wasn't good enough.

Típico juvenil moderno, cero contenido, homosexualismo exagerado ya que es lo que vende ...

Not to be dramatic, but this might be the best thing I have ever read.
I related to the characters (most especially Leah) SO MUCH.
I laughed. I cried once. I fangirled so hard I made accidental velociraptor noises. In less than a week since I got the book I have read it more than once. Read it, I beg you. This book is incredible.

Not as good as Simon. Slightly better than eh. Very anticlimactic.

- small review!
my rating: 3/5! i recommend this book!

i really loved this book. it was nice to be back in the simonverse again. i love all of the characters (minus a few, if you’ve read the book yet you can probably guess who) and i just think this was a wonderful conclusion to the series.

leah is so funny and bold and i can relate to her a lot. she struggles with insecure thoughts about her body, and that’s something i struggle with as well, so reading about her own thoughts about these things really helped me connect more to her.

(spoiler for simon vs the homosapien agenda)
honestly one of favorite parts was being able to see simon and bram happy. i know it was leah’s book, but it was just so nice to have a happy LGBT relationship.

i love the friendship between leah and bram. they’re kinda awkward around each other when it’s just the two of them because they’re used to being in a group, but they’re both so nice to each other and bram is such. a. cutie.


(can i just add that i love abby and leah together and that i was not expecting that at all?)

Have you ever heard the stereotype that in high school there's one gay friend in a group but within a few years that same group is 60+% LGBT? Thats what this book is. Not that thats bad, I really enjoyed it, but thats what it is.

All I'm going to say is that this is a very generous 3 stars. I feel like this wasn't even in the same universe as Simon vs was.
