"Cute follow up to Simon and the Homosapien Agenda (Love, Simon)"

"Super sweet book. If a lot of language bothers you don’t read this. I’ve definitely seen some hate for this book that I don’t think it deserved. It was a light easy read that left you a hopeless romantic."

"Great book clearly drawing on the authors personal experience."

"Ugh. Had so much hope for this book considering I absolutely loved the 2 other book in the “Simon verse” but damn I got let down. The story just isn’t really going anywhere and it’s pretty platonic throughout the entire book in my opinion. I never got hooked. Over all I’ll give it a 1.5/5 "

"I will rabidly consume anything in the simonverse. The cheesier the better"

"The first time I read this book I listened to the audiobook because I love Shannon Purser and I thought I’d be able to immerse myself into it more. This time I read a physical copy of the book and I loved it so much more than the audiobook. For some reason the audiobook just didn’t click with me as much but having Leah in my head was so much better and I’m so glad I reread it"
