★★★ (generously because of my emotional attachment to the characters)

So I love Becky Albertali and Simon and Bram. Like they are my friends (in my head). And hopefully one day Becky Albertali and I will be irl friends.

But I don't see the need for this book to exist? But i don't mind it; it was cute but also it's making me doubt the perfectness of their relationsip and no relationship is perfect but they were in my head okay and would've liked to left it at just that.

But where's my boy Nick I remember him being a prominent friend in [b:Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda|19547856|Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Simonverse, #1)|Becky Albertalli|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1402915678l/19547856._SY75_.jpg|27679579]... but he's barely there now.

Honestly the first 2 seasons of Love Victor are better

Becky Albertalli has given the world its first Simonverse novella and it is epistolary to boot! It starts with an email from Simon, followed by Bram's response, but then... Then I read Leah's first letter and even though it is to Simon (not Abby) her voice is so genuine, so Leah-esque that I knew right there on page four that I was going to love this book. And I did. It has Simon and Bram, but it also has Abby and Leah and they may very well be my new favorite YA couple.

I love that Albertalli donated 100% of the advance for this book to the Trevor Project. In big ways and small she is constantly stepping it up and redefining what a true ally is... and from what I hear there is a lot more she does behind the scenes as well.

Now excuse me while I go bask in the literary afterglow of the Valentine's Day Bingo, which nudged the Ferris Wheel scene and has taken center stage in my mind. The Valentine's Day scene that resulted in one of the characters wondering if their best friend's social media account was hacked.

Does this feel a little pointless at times? A bit, but that does not mean that it's not enjoyable to see where your favorites end up after their stories.

I was expecting another amazing book, like the others in the series. This was just e-mails and did not meet my expectations.

Kinda boring, totally unnecessary and left me thinking: why does this exist? Apart from the obvious money grabbing reason.
The whole book is them whining about missing each other, and that’s basically it. I did enjoy some characters though, and I did smile a few times
