So while the narrator has been changed, there’s still plenty of Simon, which should please anyone who wanted to see more Simon/Bram cuteness (I know I did!)īut enough about Simon. LEAH ON THE OFFBEAT picks up where SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA left off, but instead switches the focus to Leah Burke – the snarky BFF of Simon Spier. Is it blasphemy to say that I loved this book even more than its predecessor SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA? Because it’s true. 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. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. So Leah really doesn’t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. 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. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it.

An anomaly in her friend group, she’s the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat-but real life isn’t always so rhythmic. WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA TO FOLLOW.
