New Book Purchase: Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda

I was in Target yesterday picking up a few things when I spotted Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda. It's been on my wishlist for a while but I had not gotten around to buying it. Until, I saw it for $7.99 and I couldn't pass up a good deal on a book. Especially if it's a book I really want to read.

I know the movie adaptation Love, Simon will be in theatres on March 16th and I would like to get this read sometime before then. I may have to re-adjust my To Read list to make that happen which is something I just might do.

Book: Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

Edition: Paperback

Description:

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: If he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing with, will be jeopardized.

As his email correspondence with Blue grows more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out -- without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met.
