Leah on the Offbeat

Becky Albertalli

Review

Another excellent young adult book and third installment in the Simonverse. Like its predecessor, "The Upside of Unrequited", some readers may find this very relatable. A reminder that by letting oneself get caught in overthinking and an endless cycle of "what-ifs" one will end up being an outside observer to life.
