Leah on the Offbeat

You've seen Leah in the groundbreaking major motion picture Love Simon (based on the amazing Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). n n Now it's her turn to take centre stage. n n ---------- n n When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat- but real life isn't always so rhythmic. n n The only child of a single mum, and her life is less privileged than her friends. n n Her mum knows she's bisexual, but Leah hasn't mustered the courage to tell her friends. n n Not even her openly gay BFF, Simon. n n Prom and college are on the horizon, and tensions are running high. n n Can Leah still strike the right note, when the people she loves are fighting? n n And how can she cope knowing that she might love one of her friends more than she ever intended? n n ---------- n n Praise for Becky Albertalli: n n 'The love child of John Green and Rainbow Rowell' Teen Vogue n n 'I love you, Simon.
