you know what, when an author announces that all of the money they earn for a queer book they've written goes to queer charity? We cry, we stan, we buy the damn book.

It was fun to be back with the Creekwood gang, but I'd be lying if I said that this wasn't pointless? Definitely not bad, just.. pointless. Meh

Okay, how come literally almost no one has this on their radar?!
Like seriously!!??
If my blogging friend Sabrina wouldn’t have mentioned this in one of her tags I wouldn’t even know this is a thing! So thank you Sabrina for bringing this to my attention!! <333
And yes, I’m writing this to make you guys aware of it too! Because I’m pretty sure there are a lot of fans out there that didn’t know there’s going to be a “Simonverse book 3.5”!!!
Now we can be happy about it together! *lol* =)))

The way I cried 3 pages into this book
I really enjoyed this and absolutely loved being reunited with the characters, as they hold such a huge place in my heart. This story and this world means so much to me and this honestly felt like a catch-up with friends. Is this book particularly necessary to read? No. Is this book for the fans, like me, that love these characters? Yes. If you love Simon (see what I did there) then you’ll enjoy this short novella.

This was just a genuine wholesome delight. 🥺💛 It was like going back to be with old friends and catching up, seeing what they've been up to, and being so so proud of them. These kids!! They're off to college and figuring out relationships! Their friendships weren't just that highschool-convenience, they are deep and real and they care about each other aND I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS--

Let me be clear here.
Simon and Blue are the softest couple and human beings ever.
There's no way in hell anyone could change my mind.
They are my children.
Half of my soul gets the will to live puerly from their existence.
If I'm in my worst, I only have to think about them to know it's worth fighting.
They saved my life several times.

pros: becky donating all the profits to a LGBT charity. we love that, we support that.
cons: this book exists.

This book shouldn’t exist. It’s as simple as that. I don’t really know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this boring mess.
Quick summary:
- this book is only emails with no clear final goal, (view spoiler) It felt like a full length novel instead of only 100 pages because I was bored out of my mind.

While this was fun to read, it didn’t have a real plot and felt mainly like fan service.
Told through a compilation of emails, Love, Creekwood is a novella following everyone in the Simonverse through their early college days. Simon and Bram are managing long distance while Leah and Abby are fortunate enough to be roommates.

I am... speechless. Becky had no right to do this to me, yet also had every right to do this to me.
I was so happy reading this the entire time, but it also sort of credcendo'd in intensity (?) and I'm just... my brain has short circuited.
I feel overwhelmed.
This was so beautiful.
Will make a video or a longer review soon.

So this was obviously super sweet. And made me really nostalgic for SIMON VS. (I can't believe it was only five years ago? I was a little baby and went into the bookstore on debut day looking straight for it and loved it as much I thought I would.) I also loved all the college feels because this is how I felt with my friends, I think. And the NYU feels are also fun :)
The only things that threw me off were the constant Harry Potter references and mentions which... I get are a thing, but they've a ...more

Really cute and totally worth the read - it's a good one-sitting visit into how all the characters of Simon Vs. are doing in college. Wish it was a full novel! I especially recommend buying because Becky Albertalli is donating all of her advance & royalties to The Trevor Project. <3

I love being back in the Simonverse! This novella was told during the first year of college for and was all emails mostly between Simon, Bram, Abby and Leah. I liked this and it was great catching up, but there was no real story to it.

WOW THIS WAS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!
2.5 - Well… this was a thing that I read. Yes, there were some cute parts and at times it was fun to see what the characters were up to after the ends of their books. But overall I just did not like the way this was written.
Having it all being emails between the characters just felt weird. Because there were so many scenes that they’d mention to one another that I wish I could’ve actually read instead of just getting a little summary in an email conversation. Also, there are so many conversatio ...more

Y'all this story was a mess. I recently reread Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda and I was really disappointed that I didn't enjoy it as much as I had two years ago; however, I was still expecting to like this novella. Clearly, this did not meet my expectations.
We can start with the fact that there was literally no point to this story and no plot whatsoever. It only consisted of emails exchanged between Simon and Bram, Leah and Abby, and members of their friend group in which these they ...more

Edit:
Honestly, the more I think about this the more I’m kind of disappointed. It felt rather flat. And some of the romance parts were ridiculous, like how Simon and Blue were so dependent on one another. They couldn’t go two seconds without missing each other and whining about the other not being there with them.
And what IS it with everyone needing to be paired up? Why did Nick need to get with someone?
The ending was really quite abrupt. The ending to Leah was a better end for this series as a ...more

lazy me is scrolling through Twitter (yesterday) and comes across Becky albertalli’s page. when I read that we were getting a new novella in one of my all-time favorite series, I screamed so loudly my family came to see if I was okay! first of all it is amazing that Becky is donating all of her proceeds from this book to the Trevor project, an organization for LGBTQ+ youth! and this book will also be entirely written in emails! usually I don’t like reading books like this but many of the previou

These bookplates were designed by two of my favourite Simonverse fanartists so obviously I'm extra pumped!
Isn't it gorgeous (by @kidovna and @grayskyluna):
This was stupid. The only reason I'm not completely mad is because she's donating all proceeds to The Trevor Project but otherwise this is so pointless??? This is 120 pages of emails between Simon, Blue, Leah, and Abby but it's really just all about how horny and emo Simon and Blue are to each other from having to be long distance. Seriously it was just annoying. Leah and Abby do not add anything to this book and it makes even less sense because they are damn roommates but they are emailing each

Love, Creekwood is the epilogue I wanted. I absolutely enjoyed every second I spent reading this, which honestly wasn't very many seconds since this book was only 100 pages long. I teared up quite a bit. Becky Albertalli just has a way to hit you in the feels unlike any other YA contemporary author. I don't want to say good-bye to these characters yet!!!!!!!!!! I'm sort of sad!!!

This was such a fun little story and experience with some of my favourite and MOST PRECIOUS characters I have read. I imagine to go back and reread this one again so many times, for all the small poetic moments scattered through it, because there were some. I have to properly do a read through and highlight all of my favourite quotes.

This is the pinnacle of cuteness. Period. It even made me love Leah and Abby even though I didn’t love their book very much.
