Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

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.

----------

This was a reread for me, I HAD to reread it before going to see Love Simon on Wednesday.  I thought I'd give the audiobook a try, as I'd heard good things, and I wasn't disappointed.  The narrator was fantastic, he just felt like Simon to me and it was quite authentic.  He had the tone down perfectly and the voices of the other characters were also done really well.

This book was every bit as good as the first time and I really can't fault it.  I adore all of the characters with every bit of my heart, and it was an absolute joy to read.  Albertalli has a way of writing swoony YA with all the feels, and it feels super relatable - even for a straight woman who left her teen years behind a long time ago.  To quote Simon, I can't even - 5 stars.
