Honestly, do I think in any “objective” way that this book is good? No. But I loved it. I absolutely loved it. It gave me what I wanted and more. 

Here is a list full of spoilers of what I loved: 

1. Agatha has a girlfriend! A GIRLFRIEND!
2. Simon met his blood relatives! And liked them! 
3. Simon and Baz are together! They’re working on their relationship! They’re in love! 
4. Shepard and Penelope are together! He isn’t cursed anymore! She’s happy! 
5. So! Much! Cute! Simon! Baz! Content! They were so adorable after their initial break up. 
6. I like that there’s uncertainty in the future of all the characters but everything feels more manageable now
 

All in all, I’m very happy with how this trilogy ended! There were some silly elements, and it definitely bugged me how dialogue heavy the writing was, but I still had so much fun reading this book. It definitely solidified this trilogy as one I’m very fond of.
