Leah on the Offbeat

#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! Bisexual Awakening: She’s out to her mom, but not to her friends—not even Simon. Telling them the truth is one thing, but admitting who she’s falling for is another. Unapologetic Fat Representation: A refreshing and funny story featuring a fat protagonist who knows her own worth, even when the world tries to tell her otherwise. Senior Year Drama: With prom and graduation just around the corner, Leah’s tight-knit group of friends is starting to fall apart at the seams. The Love, Simon Universe: Fans of Simon Spier will love this return to Creekwood, this time from the sharp, cynical, and lovable perspective of his best friend, Leah Burke.
