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.
