Too many Harry Potter references. Also the story went too far out of its way to make Nick a douchebag. Nick was great in Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda but suddenly he was a dick in this one in order for Leah to end up with Abby. Don't get me wrong, as a dyke I love reading about gay women but this felt like it was held together with not enough glue. Can't even kick my feet at the girls kissing at the end because the plot and characters bugged me so much. Just mid overall.
