Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Simonverse, #1)

by Becky Albertalli

The beloved, award-winning novel is now a major motion picture starring 13 Reasons Why's Katherine Langford and Everything, Everything's Nick Robinson.

----------

Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better.

Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for.

But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated.

Because, for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal ...

It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal.

Initial thoughts: This was such a great pick-me-up kind of book. If you're having a dreary day or are simply in the mood for a huge dose of a cute contemporary book, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda is a great choice. The narration of the audiobook was so on point, it was as though Simon was sitting just beside me, telling me his story. He was such a down-to-earth and genuine character. Plot-wise, I wished for more things to happen beyond the emails and blackmailing. Still, I thought it was an engaging book. Props for the depiction of a gay character without making it a big deal while still maintaining the importance this revelation had to Simon's life.
