This novella was really cute. All the emails made for such an adorable and interesting take on telling a story. Learning what happened to some of the lovely characters from this series. It was so funny and such a quick and lighthearted read. I really enjoyed it!

Audiobook - 1 hour 24 minutes - This book was just fine. It wasn't bad but it really wasn't anything particularly special and I really don't feel like it added anything much to the storylines and character development of the characters it discussed. The audio format also got slightly annoying at times - it felt like half the time I was just listening to email addresses being read out. I am aware this is not necessarily a fault of the book itself but of the transition between media, but it still significantly impacted my enjoyment of the book.

This little novella was pure joy. Pure joy.
Unsurprisingly, there is no plot here. It's also strictly emails, so if you haven't read the books in 3+ years, there's no context refreshers, but I actually appreciated that.
The visual simonverse is fun, but it just doesn't hit like the book!verse does. Much like reading the novels in college was a nostalgic throwback to high school, reading this now is a nostalgic throwback to college.
This lil novella not only imparted the joy of witnessing beloved characters work through their Happy For Now endings, but also reminded me of the joy of my own friendships and connections. It might've maybe made me cry. Maybe. Just a little.
