Synopses

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is and what he is looking for. When an email to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, everything becomes complicated, and his feelings for Blue suddenly feel like a very big deal.

Love Simon

Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is and what he is looking for. When an email to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things quickly become complicated, especially as Simon realises just how much Blue means to him.

Leah on the Offbeat

Leah Burke is usually on beat when it comes to drumming, but real life is not always so rhythmic. The only child of a single mum, she feels her life is less privileged than her friends’, and while her mum knows she is bisexual, Leah has not told her friends.

With prom and college approaching, tensions rise and Leah must figure out how to cope when the people she loves are fighting, and when she suspects she might love one of her friends more than she ever intended.

The Upside of Unrequited

Molly Peskin-Suso knows unrequited love, and even when her twin sister, Cassie, urges her to be bolder, Molly prefers to be careful. When Cassie gets a new girlfriend who comes with a funny, flirtatious sidekick named Will, Molly starts to wonder about the possibility of a first boyfriend.

Complicating everything is Molly’s coworker Reid, an awkward Tolkien superfan she insists she could never fall for.
