Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

2.0

After Simon, I expected awesomeness. Leah doesn't quite deliver. Maybe it's because I never really developed any empathy for her. Admittedly, I am long past my teenage years, but I do generally enjoy YA. This one just didn't quite deliver. The tone is annoying and Leah's POV while trying to be acerbic and intelligent, instead just comes off as bitchy and rude. I never got a feel for the other characters in this one - and after the joy and pleasure of Simon vs the Homo Sapien Agenda, I think I expected brilliance and pure love. Leah didn't quite deliver - the story is still decent, but all in all, I never quite loved it.
