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

I'm having a weird moment where I don't know what to say about a book.

Simon was adorable.  110% of myself wanted nothing more than his complete and total happiness.  I liked Simon.  I liked Simon a lot.  I wanted to sit and watch his antics and frustrations and being human all day long.  Every time I sat down with this book, it hooked me.  So much love, honestly.

It is a really quick read.  Legit, I sat down to read a couple chapters because I had a smidge of downtime and read the entire rest of the book.  The dialogue is quick and fun and witty.

I liked it.

It was a light read that dealt with coming out in a very respectful way.  I'm straight, so I cannot begin to understand the struggles of coming out, but I got the impression that Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda was very thoughtful and respectful and even though some people are total toolbags, that's the world.  I think Becky did a great job.

I'm very much looking forward to reading Leah on the Offbeat.

That's all I have to say.  It was sweet, adorable, heartwarming and lovely.  Totally recommended.
