Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda is a young adult, romance novel by Becky Albertalli. It's about Simon, a closeted 16 year-old who emails with the name Jacques to another closeted peer from his school named Blue. Their emails are kept private, until Simon leaves the emails open on a school computer, where another student named Martin uses them as blackmail. Simon is then used by Martin for Martin's social needs. At the same time, tension is high in Simon's friend group of two childhood friends and a new(er) comer, where everything is ready to fall apart.
The book is very well written and keeps the reader interested and deeply emotionally invested in the characters, which makes the reader yearn for some things to happen in different ways. If you pick this book up, you won't be able to put it down until everything goes right.
Sounds gripping! Your review tells me just enough to get interested.
