#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 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 are running high. 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. Plus don't miss Yes No Maybe So, Becky Albertalli's and Aisha Saeed's heartwarming and hilarious new novel, coming in 2020!

A heart warming read

“She makes me want to shove my hand into my chest and rip my own heart out.” In Leah on the Off Beat, we get to read Leah’s story. This book deals with a girl living senior high school life, and all the drama and intensity that goes with it like prom and college choices. Leah also struggles with how to come out to herself and her friends about her bi-sexuality and a crush she has. I loved getting to see Simon and Bram from Simonverse too. I really adored this book as I do all books by this author. They do remind me of how it feels to be a teenager and I so appreciate how real she is in writing about sexuality and sexual identity in her fictional characters. I also really appreciated that Leah was a curvier girl who owned it without shame and who so willingly stood up against racism. There was a lot to love here honestly. I give the book 4 full stars.
