Pride month it is! Hence the selection of reads for June 2019 is everything that is in line with celebrating with the LGBTQ+ community and here is another review for a pride gem.

Leah on the Offbeat has been on my radar since I finished Simon last year and I'm glad that I finally had the time to read it ever since I bought a copy last February.

The story follows the events in life of Leah Burke, Simon Spier's bestfriend, post-Martin Addison era. If you know what that previous sentence means then you're most probably familiar with Creekwood High as well and in this book, Leah's character has been developed into someone still hiding beneath the curtain, still waiting for the right time to confidently flaunt her sexuality.

Though this one follows the same vibe with Simon as both books definitely live in the same universe, Leah on the Offbeat appears more realistic to me somehow. Maybe because I can relate with Leah's sarcasm and take on life. However, I found Leah a little bit stubborn most of the time but I won't highlight that part because that's part of Leah's overall personality development and if you can't love her at her worst then you don't deserve this bisexual, chill drummer at her best.

Overall, the vibe and pace of this book is enjoyable and it is a feel-good contemporary book that ventures on finding your self, your circle of friends, and your special someone. Ciao.
