Very cute. A great ending to the series. Leah is a great character. I did not see the ending coming and it was kind of out of the blue. Not what happened that was obvious but it was quick and I thought the ending was sudden. Over all a great book and I would recommend reading.

Leah berbeda banget dari Simon.

Nuansa buku pertama, dari PoV Simon, dan buku kedua ini, dari PoV Leah, terasa sangat berbeda. Buku Simon terasa lebih light-hearted and fun. Leah is a roller coaster of emotions. Tapi wajar saja keduanya berbeda.

Di buku sebelumnya, Simon berasal dari keluarga yang normal, dengan orang tua lengkap dan dua saudara kandung yang rukun dan saling menyayangi. Di sekolah Simon punya banyak teman. Bisa dibilang kehidupan Simon berjalan cukup lancar.

Leah berasal dari keluarga broken home, anak tunggal yang tinggal dengan ibunya yang juga orang tua tunggal. Kondisi keuangan keluarganya pas-pasan. Leah berbadan besar—isu yang rentan jadi sorotan di masa remaja, meski Leah sendiri sebetulnya menyukai bentuk tubuhnya. Leah jago menggambar fanart dan bermain drum, tetapi ia takut menunjukkan bakatnya terang-terangan di depan orang banyak. Leah bersembunyi di balik topeng tangguh dan sarkasme, tapi sebetulnya dia sangat insekyur rapuh :")

Buku kedua ini kurang fun seperti buku pertama karena pembaca sering terjebak bersama pikiran-pikiran kusut Leah. Dia cenderung bukan orang yang menyenangkan dan gampang bergaul. Mudah sekali jatuh sayang sama Simon di buku pertama karena he's a innocent and soft peanut

It was okay. I didn't quite enjoy Leah's character as much as I had in Simon's book. She just seemed to get angry at everything that didn't go her way and it was unnecessary most of the time. I get that she is trying to figure out her feelings and who she is, but it was too much. Also the part when Abby comes out as "a little bi", means whatever Abby wants it to mean and it wasn't right for Leah to label her. Coming out should mean whatever the person actually coming out wants it to mean. That's just my bit.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I love Becky Albertalli's writing, but something about this book just felt... off. The characters weren't the same, the felt a little hollow, like a piece of them was missing. And Leah just isn't my favorite character, she gets on my nerves a lot. So much of the crap she pulled just made me want to shake her.
There were, however, some good things. For instance, even though I liked Abby and Nick together in Simon, and Unrequited, I thought Leah and her were really cute together. I also liked seeing where Simon and Bram's relationship was, and how they were doing (they're still the cutest couple in ever!).
But overall this book was pretty meh. I far prefer Becky's other two stories in this universe, and probably always will.

So, I'm never a fan of sequels that require the author to literally rewrite the first book and ruin all the characters to make it work. But honestly, the bigger problem with this is that there's no plot, and I really didn't believe in the love story. I think maybe Simon was a lightning strike, and it won't be happening again.
