simon love / Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda is a 2015 young adult novel[1] and the debut book by American author Becky Albertalli.[2] The coming-of-age story focuses on the titular protagonist Simon Spier, a closeted gay high school boy who is forced to come out after a blackmailer discovers Simon's emails to another closeted classmate with whom he has fallen in love. The novel is set in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.
Albertalli received the William C. Morris Award from the American Library Association, an annual honor for young adult literature.[3][4] The novel was also featured on the National Book Award Longlist and listed by the Wall Street Journal as one of the Best Young Adult novels in 2015.[5]
The name of the novel is a parody reference to the supposed 'homosexual agenda', a pejorative term that was commonly used by opponents of gay rights in the United States until growing popular support for gay rights among the American people rendered the use of the term no longer acceptable in public.
The book was adapted into a film by 20th Century Fox titled Love, Simon, which was released in the United States on March 16, 2018, and has been released or is scheduled to be released internationally on various dates throughout 2018.
