α’αααΈααααα βα’αα‘α·α ααααΌαα·αααα
In this sequel to the acclaimed Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agendaβnow a major motion picture, Love, Simonβwe follow Simonβs BFF Leah as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst.
When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beatβbut real life isnβt always so rhythmic.
Sheβs 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 sheβs bisexual, she hasnβt mustered the courage to tell her friendsβnot even her openly gay BFF, Simon.
So Leah really doesnβt 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.
Itβs hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fightingβespecially when she realizes she might love one of them more than she ever intended.
