I skipped reading Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda but I will now read that. Yes. ( ) Some people may not like Leah very much, but I found her pretty easy to relate to. Leah has opinions, sometimes not very popular ones, or ones that might offend people, so that's what I think some readers find difficult about her character. I however; think it shows Leah's humanity and her fallibility . She's very aware that she sometimes rubs people the wrong way, and as Abby says, she can be "terrifying" sometimes. I delighted in this story, and its oh so realistic teenagers. Also, another queer story from Becky Albertalli with a happy ending! no reviews | add a review

HTML: #1 New York Times bestseller! Goodreads Choice Award for the best young adult novel of the year! In this sequel to the acclaimed Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda—now a major motion picture, Love, Simon—we follow Simon's BFF Leah as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst. When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat—but real life isn't always so rhythmic. She's an anomaly in her friend group: the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she's bisexual, she hasn't mustered the courage to tell her friends—not even her openly gay BFF, Simon. So Leah really doesn't know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. It's hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fighting—especially when she realizes she might love one of them more than she ever intended. .No library descriptions found. |
