Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
4.0
I loved it. Makes me feel like I'm a teenager again, and also like things could have been if high school hadn't been such a drag.
Simon is, most of all, a relatable character. He doesn't have that many exciting, special traits, he's just an ordinary teenager. Who gets scared, who has desires and wishes, and who acts like a dumbass sometimes. Relatable.
I honestly don't even think Coming Out was such a big topic in here - it was about change, about how other perceive you, how families accept you growing. Family, as a topic, friendship, communication, cowardice, dealing with love as a teenager, first experiences. But Being Gay is not one of the central topics.
I liked it, it was incredibly refreshing, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys coming-of-age stories!
Also, I got the big dokis reading the kissing scene. Also very relatable.
