BOOK REVIEW:- SIMON V/S HOMO-SAPIENS AGENDA
By the name, it looks like a History book. But inside the book, it's a love story of a boy, name as Simon.
Simon is a young, handsome boy and he wants to know who he is. What he wants, whom he Love? And what is his actual personality? How he comes out, as it's not easy for everyone.
Becky's style of writing, when she begins a story with interesting events, l love that. Especially the way, emails building interest into the reader to know who is Blue and what Simon wants at all.
It's a thrilling story with Suspense. The reader wants to know who is Simon, himself. Slowly, events reveal the truth and hidden secrets.
Before reading the novel, l don't know what it is about. But when l come to know who Simon is, l truly don't want to read more. That's where emails of Simon gets my attention and l read then. Now, I like his story as well.
*Short Overview of the Story:-

A story starting with their loving and friendship type interesting emails. Which l love most in the whole novel.
Soon they become attached. Even Simon fall in love with Blue.

But he is afraid of coming out.
There are many funny and sometimes so cutest moments with friends. College life and fun with friends is just lovely.
In short, I conclude the story with this, Simon finds out Blue is Bram. Every day he chats with Bram through emails, his boyfriend. He finally comes out, whatever the way it was, blackmailed by Martin or problems that poop up suddenly. His parents accept his gayness. Everything goes so well in the end, everybody accepts it. Especially Bram and Simon happy to reveal who they are and openly love each other. No fear of people anymore.
*Lessons to learn:-
Becky depicted the real picture of the younger generation and their lives in college. How much they are frightened and suppressed they are hiding their real wishes. Who they want to love and who not. Whatever gender we have, for love, it doesn't matter. And we have to give time to ourselves to realize what we want. And what are young people doing, even their happiness is in something else.This novel is for everyone who loves and afraid to come out or reveal their personalities so for those I say,
Life is to live happily because it is each individual's life. So stop fearing for public opinion. And don't try to hide things, under some stupid thoughts.
"Love life so that it can love you back." MEHER
