Review - Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

I've been wanting to read this one for a while, and when it came up on iBooks for less than $10.00 I figured it was fate and hit the "purchase" button.

And I'm really glad I did. Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda is great - super cute and lots of feelings to be had.

Simon is gay, but he's not out to anyone - not his family, not his friends. The only person he confides in is via email - another not-out person at his school.

But - when someone finds Simon's emails and tries to blackmail him - Simon finds himself facing some struggles that he wasn't expecting.


He finds himself at odds with his friends, and struggling to maintain normality while rehearsing for the school musical, and find out who his mysterious confidante is.

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda is romantic, quirky and a really quick and very heartfelt read.

Definitely recommended.
