“The tilt a whirl…the most romantic ride at the carnival.”Happy Pride! We’re celebrating by reading one of the most popular coming-out stories not only of the 2010s, but maybe ever? It’s Becky Albertalli’s 2015 debut novel, Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda. If that title’s not ringing any bells for you, this is the book that would go on to become the 2018 film Love, Simon. Daphne and Kellie talk all things teen romance, theater kid culture, and our own high school experiences as we dive into Simon’s sweet and salty love story.Becky Albertalli’s Medium post: https://medium.com/@rebecca.albertalli/i-know-im-late-9b31de339c62Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!
