So disappointed in this one. I loved Simon so much but I was struggling to finish this one.

I'm just going to pretend I didn't read this hot mess of a fanfic book.

3'5.

I adored Leah on Simon vs the homo sapiens agenda and now I just love her, but sometimes I hate her and honestly it is because she reminds me of myself so much sometimes

Loved the story, I was sad it ended because I wanted to see more of the romantic relationship BUT I am happy with the end.

Also, I fell in love even more with Bram. He's just so so so so so so cute.

I enjoyed Albertalli's first two novels, but despite a potentially cute love story in this one, things just kind of didn't pay off. Other things that were done by Leah and her love interest just were hurtful and did not play out realistically; there would have been more repercussions. Leah wasn't even fleshed out all that well. She is in a band, but most of the writing about them is revolving around a stupid fight that takes forever to resolve. Leah also seems to only have two gears, petulant teen and lovesick grump. Seriously she can't even show vulnerability much. Two gears might be generous; she is kind of one note. Kudos for Leah being a maverick and wearing her combat boots to prom. Kudos to writing a bisexual character in the first place, but next time, work on writing believable scenarios and well- rounded characters.

Not as good as Simon vs the homosapiens agenda but it was okay. I detest the relationship between Cal and Nora.
