![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I caught up with Becky to ask her why she didn’t think a Simon follow-up was a sure thing, how the ending surprised even her and will there be a third book.Īurora: Did you always know you were going to write from Leah’s POV?īecky: I actually wasn’t sure I’d have the opportunity to revisit Simon’s friend group! So much of that depended on whether people connected with Simon enough that my publisher would consider letting me write a sequel. Leah follows Leah Burke, Simon’s BFF, giving her a chance to tell her story as she grapples with changing friendships, first love and senior year angst. Becky’s new novel, Leah on the Offbeat, hits bookstores today (April 24). the Homo Sapiens Agenda - and the movie it inspired, Love Simon - was definitely the latter.īecky Albertalli’s novel tackled the transformative issues of love and acceptance with the utmost care, which is why today is a big day for me. There are books that make your day, and there are books that make your life. ![]()
