Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
3.0

3.5/5 stars

This was a 4 star until the last 50 pages. I was so glad to be back in the Simon universe. I love Creekwood and these characters so so much! I also loved how all of Becky's characters were included in some way. I also liked how Leah's personality and hobbies were included! Making fan art and realizing she can make money off of it was a great addition to her character and this story.

However, I felt like the romance wasn't necessary. It felt so out of place and like I was reading a Simon fan fiction with Leah as the main character. I also would've liked a graduation scene? That's cut out and I was disappointed.
