Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Book • 2015
Simon Spier is a not-so-openly gay high school student in suburban Atlanta who begins an anonymous email correspondence with another closeted classmate, Blue.

When their secret messages are discovered by a classmate who threatens to out Simon unless he helps set him up with a friend, Simon is forced to confront his identity on someone else's terms.

Told through Simon's witty, authentic voice and their intimate emails, the novel explores themes of identity, acceptance, and the complexities of teenage relationships with humor and emotional depth.
