À propos de cet audio
#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 really refreshing take on coming of age

The story itself though, is pretty slow, I only started to enjoy it at all probably 66-75% of the way in, because I find the protagonist off-putting. That's not to say she's a bad character, or not believable, she's a teenager who's a bit over dramatic and is convinced her friends don't like her. It's a bit tiring, and maybe just too close to home.
Not much happens in the story, though there is queer content, which I am all for. There are hopeful moments, but I don't want to feel like I'm clinging to those when what I thought I was getting was a light summer read.
If you're in a good place in your life, and you don't mind characters who aren't, this might be the book for you. If you want something to lift your spirits, you've got to get through a lot of the book before you get there.
maybe too relatable
