Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli
Does he? Doesn't she? Will she? Won't he? Leah on the Offbeat is the sequel to Love Simon. (Which I have not read) Same characters, just that this one features Leah is an artist, a drummer, and Bi. But she hasn't come out even to her best friend Simon. This story, to me, is basically a romance and if you know me, you know I don't "do" romantic angst well. Does he? Doesn't she? Will she? Won't he? That said the dialog and plot lines seem realistic. It's senior year, relationships and friendships are examined as the friends make big decisions about their lives, their friendships, and their sexuality. Students struggling with their school friendships and their sexuality might find this a relatable book.
