Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
4.0
I loved the movie Love, Simon; it was both hilarious and touching. This book is doubly so.
Even though I was Simon's age in pre-internet times, he's a character that my younger self can identify with, as I was never that much into drinking and the party scene and all that (that came later), and I was also a kind of a nerd (that never went away, though). I was a pretty average kid, and it's actually nice to read about those too, instead of those stories that only center on - and I'm no prude, trust me - endless hook-ups and drug-fueled parties. Yeah, those people exist and their stories need to be told, too, but all the average, self-doubtibg kids need their stories too. And Simon vs. is definitely one of them.
