Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda

 The book that I read was called, "Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda", by Becky Allbertalli. This book was about a boy named Simon who is a junior in high school. Throughout this year, he has figured out that he is gay and finds a interesting profile that caught his eye on Tumblr. The profilers name on Tumblr was Blue and Simon's was Jacques. Throughout the summer and the begginning of the school year they emailed eachother every week about their problems and themselves, not even knowing who that other person is. But one day, Simon used a library computer to send Blue an email. Simon was very nervous for he didnt want anyone knowing what they have been talking about and that he was gay. But on the way there one of his classmates, Martin Addison follows him and sees the email.  Once Simon was done sending the message he hurried out the library not even noticing he didnt sign out of his account. Martin goes up to the computer and screen shots every email Blue and Simon had ever sent each other and the confessions on how Blue and Simon is gay. The next day, Martin and Simon meet and Martin plans on blackmailing Simon just so he can help him date Simon's best friend Abby. I like this book because, it really talks about realistic problems that occur in a teenage life. Basically, this book is realistic fiction because if you were to think about a situation like this it would most likely happen in this way just because how I see the teenage life has turned out to be in certain individuals. I recommend this book to people who like to read realistic fiction or likewise situations to the teenage life because it really connects and makes the ready think how it would feel to be or know someone in that position, to understand problems for people like Simon.
