Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

by Becky Albertalli

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised.

With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met.

MY RATING:-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was literally the cutest,dorkiest and nerdiest bo0k I've ever read and I love this book so much I think I'm going to marry this book someday.what rituals do I have to perfom?I'll do them right now(along with 50 other books because let's be real).

And the thing is Becky portrayed everything so well in this book like how teenage boys are and what its actually like to have an online friend and the feelings along with it like you want to meet them but then you don't want to meet them just so their opinion of yours and your opinion about them doesn't change.I bet she has had an online friend because could write it that damn well!

In addition to all of this.This book was so funny like literally I was laughing in every chapter and the thing is Simon is such an adorable and sweet guy and the emails we get to read they are so full of adorable moments I literally want to be friends with Simon I mean he dressed up as Dementor for a costume party!! what else do you want?

Also I would say this is a book in which I don't think the relationship between Simon and the "mystery boy" was too forced and it seemed so genuine and not too far fetched like we see that the mystery boy was conserved in the first few e-mails and then they became friends and then happened what happened.

Now lets come to the characters because I'm dying to talk about these wonderful characters:-

1)Simon:-Simon is literally the nerdiest dorkiest and most adorable characters of all time trust me on that he wore glasses because he felt like harry potter on wearing them.And he even had a crush on Harry I mean how could a character be so adorable.Also he loved oreos which is like my ultimate code for good day and so this book made me really hungry and i may left a dent on my kindle(I swear I was not daydreaming about oreos)

2)"Mystery Boy":-Obviously I'm not saying his name because then why would you read the book?but he was so cute and adorable in his emails and he is really strict about typo errors which means I couldn't be frinds with him*sigh*but he and simon are so cute like they are the definition of cuteness trust me on that and i just want to be friends with both of them.

3)Nick:-He is Simon's oldest friends and he is really cool because he plays guitar and he likes video games! like man can this book get anymore relatable???!

4)Leah:-She was more on the side of insecure of friends who don't want their friends to make new friends but I kind of get her?like I would feel pretty bad too if I was left out from my group of friends but then I wouldn't make that big of a deal of it and i wouldn't have girl on girl hate just because I have a crush on this boy and thay boy likes the girl on that note I feel like I wouldn't have crush on boys at all because I'm too busy crushing on boys who don't exist yeah my sad life.

5)Abby:-She is the girl whom Leah hates so much but in reality she is like really sweet and she is so nice to Simon! I just can't hate her.

I was lterally grinning like an idiot by the end of the book because man you can't help it you will always be happy for Simon and he was so so happy.that I just had to grin like a madwoman.

All in all this was geekiest and cutest book of all time and you need to read it you just have to read this!

BOOK QUOTES:-

“Why is straight the default? Everyone should have to declare one way or another, and it shouldn't be this big awkward thing whether you're straight, gay, bi, or whatever. I'm just saying.”

“What's a dementor?"I mean, I can't even. "Nora, you are no longer my sister.""So it's some Harry Potter thing," she says.” 

“The way I feel about him is like a heartbeat -- soft and persistent, underlying everything.”  

“Sometimes it seems like everyone knows who I am except me.” 

“I take a sip of my beer, and it's - I mean, it's just astonishingly disgusting. I don't think I was expecting it to taste like ice cream, but holy fucking hell. People lie and get fake IDs and sneak into bars, and for this? I honestly think I'd rather make out with Bieber. The dog. Or Justin.”
