Why read it?

3 authors picked Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a heartwarming journey of one boy trying to protect the identity of a secret admirer while protecting his own heart. Simon is forced to come out. His parents are supportive, and his sisters are too. There’s a nice family dynamic there.

He really wants to know who his secret admirer is and that ending! This is the book that launched my interest in this genre. I loved it! 

From Elizabeth's list on YA LGBTQIA coming out.

The online mystery in this book is eerily reminiscent of the digital age we live in.

It felt like an updated version of the classic love story, something I aim to achieve in my own works—relatable yet unique. Plus, the book's celebration of love, irrespective of sexual orientation, is something I wholeheartedly stand behind.

The deep look inside Simon’s head proved to me that not every LGBTQ person is the same and I was touched by how he tried to overcome his fear of coming out of the closet. Romance in a beautiful setting such as this made it so innocent to read and I loved the experience.

From Sydney's list on LGBTQ that evoke emotions.
