Leah On The Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

emotional funny inspiring reflective relaxing fast-paced

3.5

The love I have for the Simonverse is insane. They feel like home tbh. I liked catching up on Leah, she's one of my favourite characters, and reading this book gave me new reasons why. I absolutely adore her friendship with Simon, their relationship is all I want in my life (is that too much to ask? Lol) It just felt so wholesome seeing them all again because as I said, they feel like home <3

What I mostly liked about this book is that it's not a "typical coming out story". It's more focus on Leah's family situation, dealing with her friends, being insecure, and how to balance that. Leah and Abby's relationship has always been odd in my eyes and I'm glad it's being addressed in this book. And let me tell you, it was not what I was expecting.
