For some reason I am so emotional right now after finishing this little novella, overall even though it made laugh out loud several times there was a sad undercurrent as a lot of the emails were about Simon and Bram missing each other and having a long distance relationship, but still I loved it so much, Simon has to be one of my favorite character of all times, he is so earnest and sweet I just want to hug him forever.

3.5 stars. Very cute. The email format leaves so much out which hurts a bit. Also I low key did not remember the characters because it’s been a while, but I’m a sucker for a continuation of a good story. The ending… it made me cry

Fun to visit the characters of Creekwood, even if through a series of emails. This got lost a bit in audiobook format with all the stating of email addresses, but still, oh to be young again.

Finally one of my libraries had this one! I have been eyeing it for a while. This one is a short novella featuring our cast from earlier books. I loved Bram/Simon's exchanges though I was a bit worried about them at times (given the long distance). And yes, at times it felt like we missed something because we only see mails. BUT I still enjoyed this one and had fun seeing what they were up to in college/how they were doing. It was a quick read and I am happy with this novella. Now can we please just have a full book with Bram and Simon again. No Leah please.
-1 star because it contains Leah... and everyone knows my feelings on her.
-0.5 star as Abby and Leah just feel very not fitting and I was way happier when Abby was with someone else.

I liked the previous books in the Simonverse series enough that reading this novella sounded like a good idea, but I ended up not liking it at all. Maybe it has just been long enough since reading those books that I don't remember or care about it or the characters anymore. I didn't feel like it added anything to the series, there wasn't much of a plot or character development in my opinion and it didn't hold my interest. I also am not a fan of the emails back and forth, so that hurt it a lot too. Overall it took me way too long to read for a short novella and unless you are obsessed with the characters and relationships from the series, it is not a necessary read.
