SO MANY FEELINGS

I wish I could make all this text bi flag-coloured because let me tell you, the fact that we have an Actual Bisexual Main Character is just. Crazy. And amazing. And crazy amazing. I don't even know where to begin. LEAH IS ME AND I ADORE HER

I know I said that 'Simon' was the book that made me smile most this year, but this is a very close second. I was so excited to see things from Leah's perspective and get into her head, and I honestly did not come into this with super-high expectations (probably because I knew I was going to love it no matter what just because, come on, she's bi, she drums, she draws, and she's a Slytherin. Again, She Is Me!!!). Safe to say that I was kinda blown away a little. I don't know how many times I can say that I loved Leah to pieces but I loved Leah so damn much??

Like, yes, I expected cutesy and contemporary and heartwarming but maybe this kind of stories are exactly what we need right now. Cutesy, heartwarming stories that feature LGBT+ couples. I was also a really huge fan of how Abby was portrayed this time around, just a little bit clueless, very questioning and just having a ton of feelings that she didn't know what to do with (this sounds like Leah as well, and you know who else? YOU GUESSED IT, ME!!!)

I related to so many aspects of this book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A very strong sequel.
