Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Told you I'd eventually getting around to gushing about "Love, Simon". 


"Love, Simon" is the title of the movie adaptation of Becky Albertalli's book "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda."

Simon Spier is sixteen, the big brother of two quirky sisters, the only son of the world's most trusting and seemingly supportive parents, the best friend almost anyone could ask for.

But he has one big secret....he's gay. 

When an email fall into the wrong hands, Simon's secret is threatened. He's essentially blackmailed into helping the class clown or the privacy of Blue, his secret pen pal (and secret gay crush) will be everyone's business.

Basically Simon is a big, phat, #gaydisaster. But he's adorable and his intentions are typically honorable.

This book, and the big-screen movie adaptation changed the conversation for so many, giving young (and old) LGBT+ a spotlight, a guiding light, a friend. 

Read the book. 
Watch the movie.

What's your favorite book to movie adaptation?
