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.
