About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, read by Michael Crouch.

Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better.
Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for. But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated. Because, for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal . . .
It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal.

This is great: the story feels authentic, the characters believable, and the narrative voice (Michael Crouch) is perfect. Good job.

it's a wonderful coming of age and coming out tale, in which Simon is emailing a guy on line, Blue Green, who he gradually falls for.
the guy is at his school and between his energetic to apathetic friends he's trying to figure out who it is, whilst being blackmailed by student Martin, who discovers his secret.
It's a funny, emotional, sweet, romantic and wonderful story of boy meets boy.

Love Simon, Love this Book

Not bad a bad book, it’s cute story about being gay in high school. Was kinda expecting a bit more to happen in the story but it was decent, look forward to watching the film and compare
