Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
5.0
I'm still kinda dazzed how good this book was. I felt in a contemporary mood yesterday and decided to pick this book up. I heard quite many good things about it which kinda worried me as... well expectations were high because of that. However, I was not dissapointed.
Simon is such a sweet and awesome character! I loved spending some time with him and see the world through his eyes. He's very witty and fun which I enjoyed a lot. I also believe he acted quite normal through out the book and made some good desicions.
The plot itself was very addicting for me to read. There were so many things I loved about it. I think I loved the e-mails between him and Blue the most. It was so nice to see how they grew more and more fond of each other without even knowing who the other is. It was sweet ^^
I felt so mad tho when all started to crumble down. All was so perfect but then was destroyed by one big jerk. It felt frustrating and it hurt to see Simon hurt during tgat time so much. The back lash he got from that thing wasn't much better tho. It's so sad that he had to go throug that and people still think it's ok to bully someone because of a different preference...
Simons friends and family were amazing characters too. All of them were lovable and fun. It fitted Simon and tge story very very well.
I also enjoyed the many referances to other fandoms and pop culture. It made you relate to the story more too and it sometimes it felt like a inside thing between you and the book (not sure if you understand what I want to say with that 😅).
All in all I'll give this book a 4.5 - 5 ☆
I really enjoyed it a lot!!!
