Becky Albertalli has completely taken my by surprise. I had heard the hype about Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and was hesitant to read it. Too much hype tends to push me away. I finally read it and was blown away. The hype was there for a reason. Truly likeable characters. Situations that people can relate to. Simon won me over but I feared that there was no way she could captivate me that way again. I was wrong. She keeps writing stories that pull the reader in. I have read and reread everything that she has offered and am patiently (not really) awaiting her next book.

Hello Readers.

I was sent a copy of this book and was intrigued. The premise looked promising and I was optimistic. I have a special place in my heart for books if this nature. Who doesn't love a good mystery? I certainly do but I am often disappointed because I tend to figure them out early on. This one surprised me. That is not an easy thing to do. The characters were fantastic. Complex and intriguing. I found myself wanting to know more about them. 

I am rating this book Four Red Books because it was a wonderful read. There were some moments where I saw what was coming but was surprised overall. I would definitely read more by this author and highly recommend.
