 Before the hype, I had marked Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda as to-read, then as maybe, then removed it completely, then marked it as to-read again... And I'm so glad I did end up giving it a chance. This book was AWESOME! I was at page 3 and immediately recommended it to my friend, because a line made me think of her, and she picked it up the next day and finished it before I did. I think that says a lot. Especially because I once bought her a book that I don't think she has read yet. 
 It was a bit hard to get into in the beginning, with all the different characters, but after reminding myself a lot, I finally learned the difference between Leah and Abby. Don't get me wrong, they are very distinct characters, but it just got confusing with Leah who liked Nick and Nick who liked Abby. 
 The thing that really pulls you in is the mystery of who is Simon's mysterious internet crush Blue. It had me binge-reading the second half of the book, because I just HAD TO KNOW. And I can't believe I didn't guess it! I now just want to re-read the whole thing with the knowledge of who Blue is. 
 Simon was a fantastic main character. Not annoying in any way, which seems to be a rare thing for protagonists these days. He has great sense of humour. I mean, he made a playlist for sad times and named it 'The Great Depression'. I want to be his best friend. 
 I would totally go into detail and discuss every page and aspect of this book, but this is a Tumblr blog and we all know the attention span of Tumblr people. I just really hope you'll pick this up. Please do. And then please love it. 
 Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda is a book to add to your must-read pile. I'd especially recommend it to fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell, and Stephanie Perkins looking for something more diverse.
