Leah on the Offbeat
Becky Albertalli
This book was on my shelf since I finished Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. And that is quite a long time now. Which probably wasn't the best thing.
It was a cute YA novel, and it was well written. However, I disliked Leah so much. I thought that she and I would have a lot of things in common, but that was a hard no. I feel like even though she's bisexual, she is very close-minded and stubborn about stupid things.
I developed this habit of liking side characters the best. Abby Suso (although she plays a considerable role in the story) wasn't the main character, and yer she made this book a hundred more enjoyable for me.
Was this book great? No, this first book was superior. It just wasn't as good as Simon's story. Was it bad? Also no. There were many awesome things about it. I honestly feel like this story lacked character development on Leah's part. That annoyed the hell out of me.
This book had a ton of potential, but it never lived up to it, which is a shame. It was a quick read, and I wasn't entirely mad about it. I would've liked this novel much more if I was younger. I gave it three out of five stars on Goodreads. Nothing special, but it wasn't bad either.
