Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love - she's lived through it 26 times. She crushes hard and crushes often but always in secret.

Story
Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate and Anderson are not co-dependent. Carpooling to and from theatre rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway. But when Kate and Andy's latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off-script. Matt is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.

Story
Georgia feels loveless - in the romantic sense, anyway. She’s 18, never been in a relationship, or even had a crush on a single person in her whole life. She thinks she's an anomaly, people call her weird and she feels a little broken. But she still adores romance - weddings, fan fiction and happily ever afters. After a disastrous summer, Georgia is now at university, hundreds of miles from home. She is more determined than ever to find love - and her annoying roommate, Rooney, is a bit of a love expert, so perhaps she can help.

Story
Meet Arthur and Ben. Arthur is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a show-stopping romance when you least expect it. Ben thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when the boys have a chance meeting at the post office, they leave wondering what exactly the universe does have in store for them.

The festive season isn't always happy for Tori Spring and her brother, Charlie. And this year's going to be harder than most. I used to think that difficult was better than boring, but I know better now.... I’m not going to think about the past few months, about Charlie and me and all of the sad. I’m going to block it all out just for today. 'Happy Christmas,' I say.

In case you're wondering, this is not a love story. My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year - before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people - I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that's all over now. Now there's Solitaire. And Michael Holden. I don't know what Solitaire are trying to do, and I don't care about Michael Holden. I really don't.

Ava and Gen are best friends. Ava knows what she wants and has plans to achieve her goals. Gen...not so much. But no matter how annoying, dramatic, or utterly bananas a two a.m. rant might get - Ava has always been there for Gen, and Gen for Ava. But then, they graduated high school. Now, they're in the same time zone (although over 1,000 miles apart), and in the real world, and it's the worst, but they still have each other's support. For relationships. Questionable roommates. Internships. And whether or not it's a good idea to take in a feral cat.

Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, read by star of Stranger Things, Shannon Purser.
When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat - but real life isn't always so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she's the only child of a young, single mum, and her life is decidedly less privileged. And even though her mom knows she's bisexual, she hasn't mustered the courage to tell her friends - not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.
With some messy dynamics emerging in this once tight-knit group of friends, senior year suddenly gets even more complicated for Leah, as she realises she's falling not for the guy who's taking her to prom, but for the girl who's dating her best friend.

Good book, bad followup.
I think I would have. Liked the book a whole lot more if I wasn't such a fan of Simon VS The homosapien agenda as it sheds a strange light on the characters that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I am basically Leah
Cheesy as fuck but I am practically Leah and I wish I had this book in secondary school or sixth form or even Uni, I might have taken those chances to confess to those girls I liked, I might have been more open earlier than I was. Beautiful book, beautiful story. Love the nerdyness of Leah (as a fellow anime/Harry Potter nerd) I loved her character in Simon vs and am glad Albertalli expanded on her character in this (Simon is so dense that it was probably needed ahaha)
Love this book!

If you liked Love Simon (Simon Vs The Homosapien's Agenda) then you'll love this. It follows Leah through the last few months of senior year, and there's still lots of Simon and Bram. I was gutted when I finished it :(
