For fans of: Realistic Fiction, Contemporary, Romance, LGBTQIAP+, Multiple POV, Novella, YAFall in love all over again with the characters from the bestselling Simonverse novels in this highly anticipated epilogue novella. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli, the movie Love, Simon, and the new Hulu series spin-off, Love, Victor!
It’s been more than a year since Simon and Blue turned their anonymous online flirtation into an IRL relationship, and just a few months since Abby and Leah’s unforgettable night at senior prom.
Now the Creekwood High crew are first years at different colleges, navigating friendship and romance the way their story began—on email.
*MY THOUGHTS*
At first I wasn’t going to write a review about this, but after listening to the audio I knew I had to! It wasn’t amazing, but the narrators were. Definitely had it’s moments.
Simon and friends are all over at different college. This book is told through the emails they’ve sent each other. This book shows how they are still friends and trying to stay in each other’s lives by emailing.
The best thing about this was being back with the gang. I loved getting an update on the things they were doing. I also loved seeing how their relationships were going. I loved being back with them!
Then there’s the narrators. I LOVE a full cast audiobook. And this one was just that. Pair that with the fact that there were some of my favorite narrators on it as well? Definitely helped me fall more for this book.
Unfortunately that’s where I stopped liking it. I just didn’t see why this needed to be a thing? I thought it was a slow start at first, but it was only like 2 hours. Definitely not slow, it was just about nothing. In the end this story progressed nothing from the overall story.
And then there’s the ending. Be careful with this one you all. There’s a cliff-hanger. I thought that was pretty weird because it was only 2 hours, but it still worked out well I think. I definitely swooned from it. But again, as a cliff-hanger it didn’t seem like anything was closed quite yet. (Sidenote, I have not yet finished watching Love, Victor. I’m only on Episode 2 so I don’t know if the answers are in the show lolol)
This book wasn’t my favorite of the series, but it definitely made me realize that I do need more of the characters. I miss them and I need to know what happens now.
Overall, I give this
What about you? Do you like novellas? Do you like cliff-hangers? Let me know in the comments!
