Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

5.0

This book was almost as good as Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. However, don't read it until you've finished that one, because this *is* a sequel and does spoil who Blue is.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Leah's slow realization/acceptance that she liked Abby felt completely believable, as did Abby's acceptance of her feelings for Leah.
