“Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda”

Lived up to its hype! As far as a contemporary teen novel reads this one was nearly off the charts the plot was not only believable but it was also incredibly relateable! Obviously I’m not a 17 year old gay high school struggling to come out but I still managed to relate to Simon and Blue perfectly! It’s positivity and bright outlook makes it the best novel to support our lgbt community! 5 starts, a hands down must read!

A great story that is perfect for introducing children to LGBT* characters within their books. It contains reference to another book that children are likely to know or have heard off so they are able to relate it more to the idea of Charlotte and Wilbur. It is recommended to a lot of our students when they are after something different to what they normally choose and it really gets them thinking. Beautifully written and I am glad that they had a friend who understood them.

Oh man Albertalli - I love your books - Simon is one of my fav books - which I am bout to read again for the second time - this one was awesome and a fast read. I adored the last 150 or so pages and especially the last 100 - the diversity in the book was on point and it was ... adorable.. yes, so adorable. There was a lot of aspects LGBT, anxiety , etc. touched on in here and pressures of drinking/relationships and it was just well written I loved every second - a definite must read and I'm so glad I got this in a book box and it was signed!!!

Recently I have been struggling to find a good book but 'We Are Young' hooked me in immediately! I loved that the book started in such a dramatic way, leaving the reader with a need to find out what happened.
I loved seeing the changes in all the relationships throughout the book, but the two loved in particular were Evan’s with her Dad and her relationship with Lewis.
Evan needed to know what happened that night because no one in the car had any reason to be there with those people and with Lewis being the sole survivor, Evan had to find out what happened on her own. I loved Evan’s hard work to find out what had happened, and it made me love her.
Clarke has an amazing way of changing the way feel about certain characters change throughout the book and that is something I love because it helps you see that some people are just misunderstood… or evil.
I have to say that my favourite element of the book was the casual use of LGBT+. Many authors would make a big deal out of it, but Clarke was not like that. I have been trying to find a book with casual mentions of LGBT+ and I managed to stumble upon it here!
Overall, it was an amazing book and I look forward to reading more by Cat Clarke in the future!

I love Your Royal Gayness.

You play as a gay prince who has been trusted by his parents to run the country for a month. As ruler, you chose what to do and can even pass laws.


The characters are amazing. You learn more and more about your friends and even yourself while playing.


My only negative comment is the base story line is too similar. I finished the game in about an hour and a half, and began to replay it. The beginning was the same. Even as I made some choices, it felt too similar after just playing it.
