Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Albertalli Becky

this next section is going to be super spoilery and basically just me losing my shit, so if you haven’t read the book, you know the drill!! “As a side note, don’t you think everyone should have to come out? Why is straight the default? Everyone should have to declare one way or another, and it should be this big awkward thing whether you’re straight, gay, bi, or whatever. This book really has a place in my heart nothing else could ever have and I really cannot recommend it strongly enough!!

It’s a story that advocates a world where being straight isn’t the default, where there isn’t any sexuality assumptions and where lgbtq+ people aren’t being pressured to “come out”, while also firmly stating that coming out is a very personal thing for someone to do and no one should take that away from them. It’s a beautiful coming-of-age story about a gay teen - Simon, who’s still trying to define himself and all of his edges, to learn to be unafraid of wanting to be who he is and loving who he loves while facing conflicts that are too familiar to a lot of us. I remember finishing it the first time and thinking how wrong it felt that everything looked the same, as if the world should have registered the events and it should have changed the way that I changed. I was 16 and forever I will associate this story with the genuine feeling of connection, the comfort of realizing your experiences are universal, and the loveliness of knowing that you have a community. Here’s the thing: this was the very first lgbtqia+ book that I’ve ever read.

Why is reading this book somehow the most homely feeling in the world? like stars realigning and flowers growing inside you and a thousand suns setting within your very bones?
