Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Leah on the Offbeat (Creekwood #2)
Leah Burke—girl-band drummer, master of deadpan, and Simon Spier’s best friend from the award-winning Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda—takes center stage in this novel of first love and senior-year angst.When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat—but real life isn’t always so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she’s the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she’s bisexual, she hasn’t mustered the courage to tell her friends—not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.
So Leah really doesn’t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. It’s hard for Leah to strike the right note while the people she loves are fighting—especially when she realizes she might love one of them more than she ever intended.

I swear, people cant wrap their minds around the concept of a fat girl who doesnt diet. Is it that hard to believe I might actually like my body? I LOVE LEAH BURKE.I don't actually see how it's possible not to. She's hilarious and badass and sarcastic and moody and totally potty-mouthed. Oh, how I wish I could go back in time and give my awkward, chubby teen self this book. If you've had enough of the depressing gloomy world we live in and want to read something uplifting, unapologeticallyI hate when assholes have talent. I want to live in a world where good people rule at everything and shitty people suck at everything. I really, really wanted to love this book. It was one of my most anticipated 2018 releases, and I was so excited to get this story from Becky Albertalli. For me personally, seeing a bisexual girl in a mainstream book I knew people would read really means a lot. Unfortunately this fell very very flat to me, and Im going to be straight up here and acknowledge this
Wow, I really did not enjoy this. I'm probably being unduly harsh because I loved Simon Vs. so much, and did not expect to hate this book as much as I did. Here are some of the reasons this was so agonising to read (BIG SPOILERS AHEAD): - Just because you have repressed feelings for someone, doesn't mean you're allowed to treat them like complete shit. The book keeps using YA shorthand like Leah's "brain not working/turning into mush" to retcon Leah's general shittiness to Abby in the previous
Edit: This book kept invading my mind and the more I thought about it, the more I felt this hatred towards it. Bleh. Pre-emotions:Please be as adorable as The Upside of Unrequited and Simon Vs.Post-read-book-emotions:Update: it wasnt. This book was so meh. The story was meh. I felt nothing whilst reading. I liked Leah enough. I mean, I get her anger and how closed off she is. That is me. But maybe thats what made it harder to connect with the story? I dont know. Im confused right now.The story
You will encounter me in the afterlife only to learn that Ive spent the last 3 millennia reciting increasingly complex and overtly emotional poetry about how much I fucking love this book.We really did speak twentyGAYteen into existence and WE ARE THRIVING!!

3/5 Stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐I can't help it. I'm a Slytherin."And I'm the worst kind of Slytherin. I'm the kind who's so stupidly in love with a Gryffindor, she can't even function. I'm the Draco from some shitty Drarry fic that the author abandoned after four chapters. I finished this book in ten hours with some breaks in between. And I'm not saying that because it was so irresistible and I couldn't leave it down and I wanted to see how the plot was going to unfold, no. Because this book was extremely
