Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
4.0

I absolutely loved this! It was a really cute, easy read and I really liked all of the characters. Although to be honest, I can’t decide if I liked the book better or the movie. I felt the movie was more real in the sense of how the characters act (what 17 year old says “freaking” and “what the heck” that often?) but the book was more real in terms of plot (as cute as the Ferris wheel scene was, it’s probably not the way most kids are going to get together. The way it happened in the book was a lot more realistic). Either way, both book and movie are great and I highly recommend both! Support more gay narratives!!

Also, I would like to take a moment to appreciate all the fantastic one-liners in this book. Some of my favourites include “le fuck,” “‘you kind of type how you talk’ ‘no freaking way!’”

And my ultimate favourite “I’m just so sick of straight people who can’t get their shit together” relatable content right there
