#1 New York Times bestseller! Goodreads Choice Award for the best young adult novel of the year!
In this sequel to the acclaimed Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda-now a major motion picture, Love, Simon-we follow Simon's BFF Leah in a heartfelt coming of age story as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst.
When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat-but real life isn't always so rhythmic.
She's an anomaly in her friend group: the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. 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.
So Leah really doesn't know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions in this YA LGBTQ+ romance are running high.
It's hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fighting-especially when a surprising friends to lovers romance has her realizing she might love one of them more than she ever intended.
