#1 New York Times bestseller!

In this sequel to the acclaimed Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda-now a major motion picture, Love, Simon-we follow Simon´s BFF Leah as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst.

When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat-but real life isn´t always so rhythmic.

She´s an anomaly in her friend group: the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she´s bisexual, she hasn´t mustered the courage to tell her friends-not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.

So Leah really doesn´t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high.

It´s hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fighting-especially when she realizes she might love one of them more than she ever intended.

"Albertalli has a fantastic ear for voice, and it´s beautifully on display in Leah´s funny, wry, and vulnerable first-person narrative. Everything Albertalli already did so well in Simon she´s improved upon here, and fans of the first book will be utterly smitten with Leah." Booklist (starred review)
