myntop 's review for:
Leah on the Offbeat
by Becky Albertalli
I loved the first book in this series, so there was honestly no hesitation in my mind that I would enjoy this one as well. In this one, we get to see some continuation of the events of Simon, but the focus is on Leah in this book.
I love the progression of relationships in this story. There are some hard decisions some of the couples must face and even some friendships are strained due to the growing up these characters must do in this, their senior year.
One thing that really stood out to me, was the topic of racism and how easy it is to let your mind go into that dark place. I was really proud of the people who stood up for and stood their ground for the person being marginalized. It's easy to look the other way, but it's not right. I always strive for the right and was happy to see that portrayed in this instance as well.
I think fans of Becky Albertalli or of Simon Vs. the Homo sapiens Agenda will enjoy this book.
