Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

5.0

Ok wow this book was amazing!!! I just finished this book and I literally have been smiling for the past 5 minutes, all I want to do now is go and eat Oreos. I felt that this book felt so authentic and awesome with friendships, family, and just character dynamics in general. I loved the relationship between Simon and blue as well. To me it felt real and meaningful,with how they interacted through e mail but also at the end, in real life.Simon was such a good and authentic character. He had flaws and made mistakes, yet he still owned up to them and managed to be so likable at the same time. This is true with all the characters and they don’t feel forced at all. I especially related to Leah with her feeling like she was being left out in her friend group/ being replaced. One last thing that I want to mention is that Martin, the overall antagonist in the book learned from his mistake and owned up to what he did without making excuses, but also he didn’t get a free pass for what he did and Simon didn’t completely forgive him which I think is very realistic and well done. Overall I loved this book and I would definitely re read this again.
