this is how you ally.
Other than that this was a genuinely great book, after reading it I immediately passed it on to my best friend, a gay man, and I’m super psyched about the film??
Also: Becky’s new book, Leah on the Offbeat, is about Simon’s friend Leah realising she’s bi so maybe she’s gonna help Simon unlearn some of his misconceptions and prejudices? Keep an eye out – the book releases in late April 🙂
Actually just on that, Becky has said that Leah has known since she was 11 that she was bi!
Fic authors deserve more credit.
Story time: I started a book about 23 hours ago and just finished it. Also in that time I slept for 10 hours, spent time with family, was at work, etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the book (Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda). But it felt like it flew by, so after I finished I looked up the word count because what are pages? Pages are meaningless. I only function in word counts anymore.
The estimate I found was 58,580. My immediate reaction was “oh, that’s why. That’s nothing!” But what a shitty response. Because no. That’s not nothing. That’s a whole. Damn. Book. An entire novel! And Fic authors regularly bust out 30k, 50k, 100k, 150k words. AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE. WHILE WORKING AND LIVING THEIR LIVES.
So anyway, thank your favorite fic author today because they deserve it. Because they’re amazing. They’re the MVPs.
