You've seen Leah in the groundbreaking major motion picture Love Simon (based on the amazing Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda).

--------
When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat- but real life isn't always so rhythmic.
The only child of a single mum, her life is less privileged than her friends.
Her mum knows she's bisexual, but Leah hasn't mustered the courage to tell her friends.
Not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.
Prom and college are on the horizon, and tensions are running high.
Can Leah still strike the right note, when the people she loves are fighting?
And how can she cope knowing that she might love one of her friends more than she ever intended?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Leah—the snarky drummer from Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda—steps front and centre in this standalone sequel. Leah’s as cynical as ever, but now we get more of the roiling emotions and confusion that fuel the teen’s interactions with the outside world. She’s finding the relationships in her life baffling: she still doesn’t feel comfortable coming out as bisexual, her mum has a new man whom Leah can’t stand and her friend group is about to scatter, attending different universities across America. Once again, Becky Albertalli captures the unique stresses of teenage life with wit and wisdom. teenage life with wit and wisdom.
