Leah takes the main stage in this companion novel to Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. In their senior year of high school, Leah and her ethnically diverse friends are busy preparing for the near future while trying to savor their final few months together. While most of the others explore their many college options, Leah, who doesn’t enjoy the same economic privilege, has already applied and been accepted to the University of Georgia. As it turns out, Leah and her friend Abby are in the same boat, so they decide to take a road trip to visit the school together. Closeted, bisexual Leah, who is “always weird around Abby” (perhaps because Abby is so pretty and sweet), begins to fall for her friend as they spend more time together. However, Leah remains firmly convinced that Abby just isn’t into girls. Chock full of snarky, smart dialogue, this novel offers an unforgettable protagonist who makes mistakes, judges too quickly, and loves fiercely as she sometimes clumsily navigates her senior year and her complex and varied relationships. (Ages 14–18)

#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.
