It was utterly delightful being back in Creekwood. I loved getting to know Leah from the inside out, and sharing so many of these special moments with the gang as they did the long farewell to high school. It's no secret, that Albertalli is a master at writing teens, and there were a lot of fun and important moments shared with us. My heart was filled with lots of happiness for Leah as she got her HEA, I just wish the love interest didn't have to come from within the friend bubble. It came at the expense of destroying a relationship, which I really liked, but I know there are many fans, who will be elated but this pairing. I was actually rooting for Leah and Nora to pair off.

Kudos for the ending. I am super greedy, and always want to know how it all worked out. So, I enjoyed getting a jump ahead and catching up with all the major players.

I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING. (tears of happiness)
OH MY GOD that was such an amazing book. I don’t have all the words I need to describe it, which is what always happens when I’m reading and suddenly a character is LIKE ME. Fat girls, ace girls, autistic girls, chronically ill girls- it’s just like HOLY SHIT there are other people like me!???? And books about them????! And now I’m crying again. Okay. I know I had PLANS for what I was going to read next but now I have to read What If It’s Us because FEELINGS. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You guys I have never felt more represented in a book EVER. Leah is actually me our personalitys are pretty much the exact same and I just can't. This is now one of my all time favorite books ever. 💜💙💛💚 Like an example of how similar we are is someone tells Leah you cuss a lot. And her response is "Fuck you" 😂😂😂 I highly recommend this book to everyone and I mean everyone.

Leah on the Offbeat is such a great story - with Leah in the starring role. I just loved everything about this book - even Leah's offstandishness.

Already read this book after it came out, but it was on my Wish List for a book swap. However, I decided to read it in English once all the drama started. But I couldn’t review it or whatsoever.
