I absolutely love "Simon vs. the homo sapiens agenda" and "Leah on the offbeat", so of course I also had to read this little novella. It follows Simon, Leah and their friends through their first year of college. We learn how Simon and Bram cope with their long-distance relationship and how well Leah and Abby really fit together. The whole story consists only of emails and short messages the characters send to each other. this fits well with the whole Simon-verse and I really enjoyed reading things from "their perspective". But I've got to admit that I would have preferred some "normal story-telling" in between. If only to fill in the blanks between the mails. Nevertheless it's a really cute and funny story and for fans of Simon and the others an absolute must.

The Babies are in College now!

Simon, Bram, Leah and Abby are now College students! But while Leah and Abby are going to the same University, and even share a dorm room together (a dream for every couple), Simon and Bram are separated (only by miles; no One can separate the Dreamcouple!!!). This book is a collection of their E-Mails, where we can find out how they (especially Simon) are coping with their new life-chapter. I really enjoyed this part of the Simon Universe. But truthfully, I wished for a little bit more… a little bit more…. I don’t know: a little bit more story? Yeah, that sounds right. While the E-Mails were fun to read, they didn’t describe everything that was happening, and I want to know EVERYTHING! Still: For Fans of Simon and Co. it's a little marvel!
