Who Is Blue Simon Vs the Homosapien Agenda

It's time for another book playlist, and this time around, the spotlight has been taken by Becky Albertalli's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda!

If you've been living under a rock for the last year (hi, Patrick!) or just missed this, here are the cliffnotes: Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda is the debut novel of Becky Albertalli that follows Simon Spier, an adorkable teen who has one huge secret: he's gay. And the only person who knows besides him, is the boy he's exchanging emails with, Blue. Until someone else reads his emails and starts to blackmail him, jeopardising not only Simon's secret but Blue's anonymity…intrigued yet?

If you're in need of a fluffy contemporary, one epic love story, and a new OTP to root for, go pick up a copy of Simon, watch the highly acclaimed adaptation Love, Simon, and then come back to find some awesome tunes to reminisce in the beauty that is this book! Have fun!

Whether you've read the book and looking to reminisce, or just want to find some new songs to add to your playlist, enjoy this little trip down "memory book lane"! You can also find our playlist onSpotify!
