Perfect product. But a boring story.
Product? Perfect. The binding, pages and letters are Perfect.The book? Nahh 👎. Love Simon is the real banger. This book is very boring. I'm only giving 5 stars for this product. For the book review, I'll give 2 stars only. This book is that boring. This book puts me in a reading slump and I'm still recovering from it.

Detail review of the book ;)
About the book : Becky Albertalli is basically bisexual and she couldn't come out of the closet yet...not even to her gay BFF Simon. The plot and the whole story revolves around this. And this ofcourse is a cute, touching, passionate book with wit and humour❤️.Thought : A really appreciative sequel to Simon and the Homosapiens Agenda. The beginning could have been a bit more crisp..What I Liked : The characters were sooo good. This is like a really good for young adults. And I like the way how Becky Albertalli makes things in the book fun to read ❤️

Book review(brief and no spoilers)
I really love the way Becky Albertalli writes. The way she expresses teenage psychology, how young adults feel, what they're going through. If you're looking for a nice YA you should totally read Simon vs the homo sapiens agenda and then this.Follow me on ig: ditsaparmar:)

Disappointing
I loved Leah in Simon vs the Homo sapiens Agenda. But here she was all about herself. Sometimes I felt like I could relate to her, but most times I really disliked because of her insensitivity towards her mom and friends.

Leah's deadpan humours are sure to keep every reader entertained.
Great sequel to the Simon vs the homosapiens agenda. This is the second book in the Simon-verse series. It was a beautiful read. Becky Albertalli's style of writing is amazing and touches the heartstrings of the young adult. Go for it.

Wonderful
First of all the book arrived in perfect shape.The book itself made me so happy, I loved it as much as I loved Simon Vs the homo sapien agenda. Becky Albertalli has done it once again with great loveable characters and a great story in general. I totally recommend it.

A Brutally Honest, Heartfelt Book
Once again, I'm weak for Becky Albertalli's books. After reading "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" and being totally in love with it, "Leah on the Offbeat" was a must-read for me. I pre-ordered it on March 26th--the day I finished the first book--and spent nearly a month obessesing over the day it would arrive.When it arrived two days ago, I dove in immediately. From the beginning, I was hooked. Leah is a character who really takes nothing from anyone and is totally aware of who she is, bisexuality and all--except for one thing: is she falling for the girl she never thought she would even LIKE? With college nearing and prom on her brain, Leah is completely confused about who she likes and who she doesn't like, and this is very relatable for any teenager.Leah on the Offbeat will take you through a wild ride with Simon Spier's best friend, Leah Burke, a high school senior who is not yet out to her friends but is also unmistakably and painfully falling head over heels for one of them.This is one of the best books I have ever read. Unlike other LGBT books, this is so much easier to digest as opposed to darker, heavier plots and characters. It's a lot more relatable, in a way that really makes your heart clench and your head just want more. It is a must-read for everyone, especially LGBT teens and young adults like myself.Once I started, I could not put it down, and that's really saying a lot. It's the perfect mix of heartfelt and hilarious and just brutally honest, and the way it's written just makes you want to read beginning to end with no break.Leah is a very sarcastic and witty character, and her classic deadpan lines are spot-on and make you giggle a little, and her point of view makes you see things in an entirely different light. She's quirky and uses every reference to fanfiction and fan art each chance she gets, and that's not something you often read in a book. It's definitely unique, unafraid of telling the story of a realistic teenager, even mentioning body image and the need to feel beautiful in your own skin, and those awkward moments and kisses everyone regrets.I actually shed a few tears towards the middle and end. It's definitely an emotional roller coaster, especially when you can just feel Leah's pain and anguish as she realizes she's falling madly for someone who may not even like her back, and quite frankly, Leah is not too thrilled that she's falling hard, either. I was a mess when I closed it for the last time (maybe not the TECHNICAL last time).Becky Albertalli has done it once again. She's written a masterpiece that will stick with many of us readers. Well done, Albertalli. You've won us over again.Please read Leah on the Offbeat. It's an experience worth having. Even if this isn't your sort of thing. You just might be in for a huge surprise.

もう一つのサイモン
サイモンの続編で、前作ではサイモンのちょっと気難しい親友として登場していたリアが主役です最初は素直 なサイモンと比べて意固地で自意識過剰なリアに好感が持てなかったのですが、いつのまにか彼女が自分の一部のような気持ちで読んでいました。あーわかるわかるこういう気持ち…と何度も頷きながら読み進めあっという間に読んでしまいました。前作を読んでから読むとより楽しめると思います。シニカルでクールな若者英語よんでてためになりました。

My favourite of the Creekwood books!
Every time I read a Becky Albertalli book I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and style of her writing. Leah on the Offbeat was no different. I found myself laughing and “awwing” throughout. This book was really sweet and the f/f romance was even sweeter.I only read Simon for the first time about 10 months ago but kept putting off Leah because I didn’t really like her character in Simon and a lot of my Goodreads friends haven’t rated this one well. But now that I have read it I think I enjoyed it maybe more than I enjoyed Simon. I liked the character of Leah and I think it was good to see her background instead of her through Simons eyes as a sideline character.Maybe I enjoyed it so much because it is the type of book I wished for as a teenager. If I read this at 15/16/17 I would have devoured it over and over!The biggest complaint by others is the romance and the way it happened but honestly the characters are teenagers who 1. Don’t see the world through the moral eyes of adults and 2. It’s quite common in f/f teen relationships to form this way.I’m sad that I have now read all the Creekwood books but glad I finally gave them and Becky Albertalli the chance to impress me- which she has done!
