Leah on the Offbeat is a 2018 young adult novel by American author Becky Albertalli. It is the direct sequel to her 2015 debut novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and the third novel in the "Simon-verse", the shared universe in which Albertalli's books take place and which also includes 2017's The Upside of Unrequited. The audiobook was read by actress Shannon Purser. Leah on the Offbeat focuses on Leah, the best friend of Simon Spier, and her attempts to deal with various personal issues including friendships and relationships, body image, sexuality, self-esteem, going to college and feeling like an outsider. Leah was portrayed by Australian actress Katherine Langford in Love, Simon, the 2018 film adaptation of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
What I like about Leah is that she doesn't have a problem with her weight. She has a problem with YOU if YOU have a problem with her weight.
Leah's biggest flaw is that when something doesn't go perfect, she decides to give up and burn it to the ground.
Now imagine if there was an awkward romance! (there is)
