The Simonverse Novels 3-Book Box Set: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, The Upside of Unrequited, and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

4.0

This book was ADORBS. It was funny and cute and the male POV was so realistic of a teenage boy. I loved Simon; his quirkiness, humor, and kindness toward others even if they didn't deserve it. And I loved that his coming out wasn't the only part of him. It was a Big Deal, because he was scared how people (especially his family) would respond, but it wasn't the whole book. And I adored the interactions between him and Blue, especially that they talked about a lot of real shit like sex. I did figure out who Blue was, kind of early on, though I did flip flop between different guys. But it didn't take away anything from the story. I also loved how friendship and familial relations were explored, and how they played a big role in Simon's life. This book was fun, relatable, and had so much depth to it.
