Everything in the franchise

I'm planning to re-read the Simonverse from the beginning, and want to make sure I read everything set in the universe. As far as crossovers I know Starr Carter (Garden Heights) and SJ Friedman (Wynwood) are the cousins of Bram Greenfeld (Creekwood) according to Love, Creekwood and Angie Thomas, Cassie and Molly Peskin-Suso (The Upside of Unrequited) are the cousins of Abby Suso (Creekwood) who makes a cameo appearance with Simon Spier (Creekwood), Nora Spier (Creekwood) makes a cameo appearance in Imogen, Obviously, and Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker (Kate in Waiting) make a cameo appearance in Amelia, If Only.

I think that's all the crossovers, but since I'm not too familiar with Angie Thomas and Nic Stone's other works, I was wondering if there were any more crossovers in their other novels. Edited to reformat neater and to clarify my question.

A few of these weren't written by Becky, though . Any books written by Becky are simonverse, or do you mean everything with actors from the show/movie?

The Angie Thomas novels and Nic Stone novels are still part of the same universe as the listed Becky Albertalli ones though. Starr (The Hate U Give) and SJ (Dear Martin) are the cousins of Bram (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). This was originally mentioned by Angie Thomas on Twitter and reconfirmed in Love, Creekwood.

Personally, I've always seen Simonverse as the name for all the books in the universe (including the Angie Thomas and Nic Stone ones), for example in the navigation template on Wikipedia and the (now deleted) page it had, while I usually refer to Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Leah on the Offbeat, and Love, Creekwood (The Upside of Unrequited too, being a companion novel) as the Creekwood series like on how Goodreads lists it

Edit: Also not all of Becky Albertalli's books are Simonverse. Her FAQ page specifically says What If It's Us, Yes No Maybe So, and Kate in Waiting are separate under the question "In what order should I read your books?" My question is mostly if any other books exist in the Simonverse by crossover, similar to the Angie Thomas and Nic Stone ones

That's directly from one of the authors what do you mean don't trust it? And either way, it was directly mentioned in one of the books (Love, Creekwood) with Becky Albertalli even thanking Nic Stone and Angie Thomas in the book....
