I read all 3 books before this set came out. All were awesome and I want these Simon, Leah, Nick, Bram, Cassie, Will, Mina, Molly, Abby stories to continue. Idk what to say, all of Becky Albertalli’s books that became very popular which are these 3 books are like some of my all time favorite books. If hadn’t read one of these, go read it right now!

4/5 stars

My rating of each novel:
Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda (5/5 stars)
The Upside of Unrequited (4/5 stars)
Leah on the Offbeat (3/5 stars).

I adore the "Simonverse". It is a wholesome slife-of-life journey and I strongly recommend it despite the steady decline in rating from novel to novel. It is worth reading all 3 novels if you enjoy Albertalli's writing. If you're only in it for the Simon-gang, you can skip The Upside of Unrequited as there are not that many appearances from people in the Simon-gang. It is also fine to read only the first (and best) novel, Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, as it works perfectly well as a stand-alone novel.

Overall this series wasn't my absolute favorite. The books were pretty slow and were all fairly predictable. However, this is a good easy read just for fun. I think if you enjoyed these books you should definitely read books by Adam Silvera because they were similar to these, but a little more mature and I loved them.

This trilogy was alright. I liked the first book. Second was alright. Third was a struggle to get through. The Simon movie was cute, though!
