Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli is a witty, heartfelt, and refreshingly honest YA coming-of-age romance about identity, friendship, and finding the courage to be yourself.
Meet Simon Spier, a sixteen-year-old with a not-so-open secret: he’s gay. Simon’s carefully controlled world turns upside down when an email to his anonymous crush, Blue, falls into the wrong hands. Now he’s being blackmailed by a classmate, threatened with being outed before he’s ready. As his secret teeters on exposure, Simon navigates high school drama, evolving friendships, and the mystery of Blue’s identity — all while chasing a chance at real happiness.
Winner of hearts worldwide and the inspiration for the film Love, Simon, this Goodreads Choice Award-nominated novel is a charming, relatable story about first love, self-acceptance, and the messy beauty of teenage life.
