Moi, c'est Simon. Simon Spier. Je vis dans une petite ville en banlieue d'Atlanta. J'ai deux soeurs, un chien, et les trois meilleurs amis du monde. Je suis fan d'Harry Potter, j'ai une passion profonde pour les Oréo, je fais du théâtre. Et je suis raide dingue de Blue. Blue est un garçon que j'ai rencontré sur le Tumblr du lycée. Je le croise peut-être tous les jours, mais je ne sais pas qui c'est. On se dit tout, sauf notre nom. À part Blue, personne ne sait que je suis gay.
Voilà plus d'un an que Simon et Blue sont passés du flirt anonyme en ligne à la relation IRL, et quelques mois à peine se sont écoulés depuis ce sacré bal de terminale qu'Abby et Leah ne sont pas près d'oublier. À présent éparpillée dans différentes facs de la côte est, la petite bande de Creekwood doit apprendre à naviguer entre amitié et romance, en renouant avec le médium par lequel tout a commencé : l'e-mail.

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.
I don't entirely understand how anyone gets a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. It just seems like the most impossible odds. A perfect alignment of feelings and circumstances . . . Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. No matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly is always careful. Better to be careful than be hurt. But when Cassie gets a new girlfriend who comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick, everything changes. Will is funny, flirtatious and basically the perfect first boyfriend. There's only one problem: Molly's coworker, Reid, the awkward Tolkien superfan she could never fall for . . . right? A heartwarming and hilarious story about growing up and learning to be comfortable in your own skin.

« SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA » SEQUEL --soon to be a major motion picture, Love, Simon WE FOLLOW SIMON'S BFF LEAH AS SHE GRAPPLES WITH CHANGING FRIENDSHIPS, FIRST LOVE, AND SENIOR YEAR ANGST.
WHEN IT COMES TO DRUMMING, LEAH BURKE IS USUALLY ON BEAT--BUT REAL LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS SO RHYTHMIC.
She's an anomaly in her friend group: the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. she loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she's bisexual, she hasn't mustered the courage to tell her friends--not even her openly gay bff, simon.
With humor and insight, #1 New York Time s bestseller Becky Albertalli explores the nuances of sexuality, identity, and friendship in this timely new novel. Imogen Scott may be hopelessly heterosexual, but she''s got the World''s Greatest Ally title locked down. She''s never missed a Pride Alliance meeting. She knows more about queer media discourse than her very queer little sister. She even has two queer best friends. There''s Gretchen, a fellow high school senior, who helps keep Imogen''s biases in check. And then there''s Lili--newly out and newly thriving with a cool new squad of queer college friends. Imogen''s thrilled for Lili. Any ally would be. And now that she''s finally visiting Lili on campus, she''s bringing her ally A game. Any support Lili needs, Imogen''s all in. Even if that means bending the truth, just a little. Like when Lili drops a tiny queer bombshell: she''s told all her college friends that Imogen and Lili used to date. And none of them know that Imogen is a raging hetero--not even Lili''s best friend, Tessa. Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with. . .
Autoproclamé célibataire pour l'éternité, Arthur croit pourtant dur comme fer au coup de foudre. Surtout lorsque Ben entre juste après lui dans un petit bureau de poste new-yorkais. Battements de coeur affolés, capacités de raisonnement atomisées. Aux yeux d'Arthur, l'arrivée de Ben est un signe du destin. Malheureusement, il s'est trop souvent fait arnaquer par l'univers pour vouloir y croire. Plutôt que de risquer une nouvelle fois d'avoir le coeur brisé, il préfère prendre la fuite. Ce qu'il regrette aussi vite. Et si Arthur avait raison ? Si l'univers savait déjà qu'il s'aimerait ? S'il leur laissait une seconde chance ?
In the follow-up to their charming NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, What If It's Us, best friends Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End) and Becky Albertalli (Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda) reunite to give Arthur and Ben another shot at true love.
From the creator of 13 Reasons Why, What If It's Us is soon to be a feature film!
Ben has spent his first year of college working on his fantasy manuscript with his writing partner Mario, who is a great Spanish tutor, and an even better kisser. So why can't he stop thinking about the fact that Arthur's back in town two years after they called it quits?
Arthur is in New York for a dream internship on Broadway, with a boyfriend back at home that he couldn't be happier with. But when he comes upon Ben cuddled up with a mystery boy, he starts to wonder if his feelings for Ben ever truly went away.
Even as the boys try to focus on their futures, they can't seem to help running into each other in the present. Is the universe forcing them to question if they're actually meant to be?
Possibly not. After all, things didn't work the first time around.
Possibly yes. After all, the sparks are still flying.
Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and raise a glass.
Here's to celebrating old friends!
Here's to embracing new beginnings!
Here's to believing in second chances!
A New York love story with a difference from }Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda{ author Becky Albertalli and }They Both Die At The End{ author Adam Silvera.
D'un côté : Jamie Goldberg, dix-sept ans, une maladresse maladive. Il s'est retrouvé embarqué dans la campagne d'un candidat aux élections locales.
De l'autre : Maya Rehman, dix-sept ans, un caractère bien affirrmé. Ses vacances en famille ont été annulées, mais sa meilleure amie est trop occupée pour traîner avec elle.
Ensemble, et surtout malgré eux, ils sont recrutés pour faire du porte-à-porte.
Ça n'a rien de très sexy, mais ce n'est pas la pire activité au monde non plus, surtout que peu à peu les rebondissements de la campagne électorale les rapprochent...

Le couple insubmersible formé par Abby et Nick est en train de prendre l'eau. Je me suis fâchée avec des filles que je connais depuis la maternelle. Et plus le temps passe, plus j'ai l'(affreuse) impression que notre pote Garrett veut sortir avec moi. Il est mignon. Adorable. Prévenant.

J'ai une chose à vous avouer :
Je suis une serial crusheuse.
Un vrai coeur d'artichaut.
Jusqu'à maintenant, j'ai eu très exactement VINGT-SIX coups de coeur.
Mais comme ils ont débouché sur très exactement ZÉRO baisers, ça ne compte pas.
En même temps, c'est une bonne façon de ne jamais prendre un seul râteau!
Cassie, ma soeur jumelle, pense que ça craint.
Sauf que Cassie n'a pas vraiment de problèmes avec les garçons, vu qu'elle préfère les filles.
D'ailleurs c'est sa copine qui m'a présenté Will, alias LE mec parfait.
Là, je le sens, mon crush numéro 27 sera le bon.
Enfin, je crois ?
Une histoire d'amour, de famille et de confiance en soi, par l'auteur de Moi, Simon, 16 ans, Homo Sapiens.
From New York Times bestselling authors Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed comes a heart-warming, hilarious story about the power of love and resistance. Jamie Goldberg is cool with volunteering for his local state candidate - as long as hes behind the scenes. Theres no way hed ever knock on doors to ask people for their votesuntil he meets Maya. Maya Rehmans having the worst Ramadan ever. Her best friend is too busy to hang out, her summer trip is cancelled, her parents are separating and now her mother thinks the solution to her problems is political canvassing - with some awkward guy she hardly knows ... Going door to door isnt exactly glamorous, but maybe its not the worst thing in the world. After all, the polls are getting closer - and so are Maya and Jamie. Mastering local activism is one thing. Navigating the cross-cultural crush of the century is another thing entirely. Praise for Yes No Maybe So : ''Heartwarming, poignant and very, very funny'' Waterstones [An] entertaining story of love, politics and idealism The I '' A novel bursting with hope, truth and action . . . Yes No Maybe So is about speaking up, showing up and being an effective ally. But at its core its a reminder that the Greta Thunbergs, Malala Yousafzais and Autumn Peltiers of today were once Jamies and Mayas: everyday teenagers who saw their house was on fire and worked tirelessly to extinguish the blaze'' The New York Times Book Review
