Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
3.0
I kind of liked this but also didn't. 3 stars, because even with my problems I did enjoy it probably more than others. I had lower expectations because of GR friends reviews but while I understand their issues with it, I did not hate it this book.
I read [b:Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda|19547856|Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Creekwood, #1)|Becky Albertalli|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1402915678s/19547856.jpg|27679579] last year and I loved it. It was warm and fluffy. I probably would've liked this book better had it not been a sequel to it. Cause some of the characters suddenly just flipped. Like there was no clue to Abby and Leah's bisexuality in that book. Wouldn't Simon of all people have said something doubting their straightness.
I'm confused about Leah, she's sarcastic sometimes which is cool. But sometimes she's literally being a bitch for no reason. She has the coolest mom ever and she giver shit for no reason. Not cool. Not cool. But I understand how she's self conscious about her art and coming out even though her friends most definitely would accept her, sometimes you just are.
The Romance. Had I not read Simon Vs I probably would've liked it alot more. Cause while I could feel the attractive tension between Leah and Abby, I just couldn't picture this. I feel like Leah should've had some other love interest, just didn't feel right with Abby.
The best thing about it was those friends. I missed them. Bram is just so adorable love him to bits, I feel like we didn't get much of him in last book, so I loved it. I felt sorry for Garret, poor guy. Nick's one of those characters that I think just flipped, I found him so different.

Also in the end when Simon sees them together he's not worried, that guy is legit constantly worried about friendship dynamics but now his best friend is with his other's best friend's ex and he's happy?I'm confused about Leah, she's sarcastic sometimes which is cool.
