I really loved the plot of this novel overall, sure, it was kind of given away by the back cover, but I loved seeing the way that it developed. I loved seeing the little nuances that Becky Albertalli does so well in her writing. The plot had a bit of Simon in it because the characters were the same way that they were in the original novel, but this was great because we saw them in a new and exciting way.

Another thing that I really loved about this book was the characters. They were back and better than ever, and I was so here for it. I thought that they might be different than they were in the first book, as people grow and change as stories and series go on, and while these characters did grow and change, they also were the same way they were in the first book, and I loved that.

The last thing that I loved about this book was the details that were put into the novel. This is something that I think that Becky Albertalli does very well. For me, a good book is knowing that the characters are doing these actions, or that they will do these actions. A great book is getting down to the reason why the characters are doing, or are going to do the things that they will do. Getting into their mind, and do they know what could happen if it goes the wrong way is important, and I think that this book is filled with the why the characters do the actions they do.
