I liked this but not as much as Simon. Leah was so incredibly incredibly relatable but also frustrating. The story also seemed to drag and the pacing was weird, like for 100 pages they hyped up the road trip and the actual trip was only like 2 chapters. I did like the representation. I wish Leah’s perfectionism was explored more and that she would have grown in that area
