You're an asshole. No, I had to tell him. No, you didn't. Look, he's your dad. And what you said earlier was wrong. He is trying to find you. He's doing everything he can to go back and rescue you, and, like, you're here and he's here. Look, just talk to him, all right? It's literally too mad, if you don't. So, please.

Like when the skinny nerd girl walks downstairs in her red dress. Or Hermione at the Yule Ball. Or even Sandy in her tight pants at the end of Grease.

Leah on the Offbeat Review

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

CW: Underage Drinking, Bi-phobic Parent, Racism, (Implicit) Pathological Demand Avoidance, Fat-phobia

4.5/5

I considered not writing a review for this book as I tend not to for books in a series. However, two factors changed my mind. First, "Simon-verse" is a little different from a normal series because it is made up of spin-offs. The other is that I've seen a lot of hate towards Leah that seems unfair. I'd like to defend her honor. I was hesitant to get into Becky Albertalli, or at least "Simon-verse" at first. I believe it is a part of my autism to be resistant to things that are popular, even things I would love. I started reading Albertalli's work with The Upside of Unrequited due to the Jewish content involved. I didn't know the book was part of "Simon-verse", but I didn't need to. As I got more into Albertalli's books, I continued to steer clear of the "Simon-verse". Thankfully, I eventually caved.

Leah and the Offbeat is the third book in the "Simon-verse" but can easily be read as a direct follow-up to Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. It follows all of the characters we were introduced to in the first book, especially Leah, Simon's best friend. She is in the closet about being bi to everyone at school. She is nerdy, plus sized, and resistant to change (relatable). When a boy in her friend group makes his crush clear to Leah, she starts questioning if she wants a relationship. This question becomes harder to answer when her long term crush, Abby, becomes a possibility. Will Leah be able to stop over-thinking and pursue her own crush?

When I watched the Love, Simon movie, I got the feeling that Leah had a crush on the new girl, Abby. When the movie didn't include that detail explicitly and neither did the book, I decided it was just a missed opportunity. I knew that Leah and the Offbeat would be about Leah being bi, but I had no idea that she would actually have a chance with Abby or want to. The story between the two girls is believable and true to the established canon. It also balances well with the concerns about college, money, and the relationships outside of Leah and Abby’s.

Earlier, I mentioned that Leah had received a lot of hate after this book was released. I even saw one person claim that she had surpassed the villain of the first book for the role of "Worst Character". The book was difficult to read at times, mainly when Leah was being difficult. She was rude to her mother, wouldn't give her mom's boyfriend a chance, made a big deal out of a song she didn't like, and kept self-sabotaging. I do not know if Albertalli explored this intentionally or not, but it is clear that Leah has Pathological Demand Avoidance, which is a trait of Autism. I try not to diagnose a lot of characters with autism, even being autistic myself, but seeing Leah as autistic brings a lot of clarity to the story. I believe those being mean about Leah simply didn't understand her. Partially, I avoid doing this because I am not a therapist or psychologist, but the main reason I avoid this is because if a story shows a potentially-autistic character in a negative light, it can be problematic. As far as I am aware, Albertalli is not autistic, but she did write Leah well, allowing me to feel comfortable with giving her the Autism label.

I appreciate Leah on the Offbeat for exploring two bi girls falling for each other, for letting Leah love her body, for showing us how Simon and Bram handle leaving for college, and showing Leah as hard to swallow in a very real way. I hope people who haven't read this yet will give it a chance, but please make sure to read Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda first!

Book Review: Leah on the Offbeat

Creekwood (Book 2) by Becky Albertalli

Source: Google Images

When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually right on the beat - but real life is a little harder to manage. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And she hasn't mustered the courage to tell her friends she's bisexual, 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. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high and 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...

Utterly Annoying

Other than Simon and Bram, I have nothing good to say about this book. I hated Leah Burke, I hated how reading this book was equivalent to reading about nothing really happening, I just really hated this book because Leah was an extremely infuriating character. The number of times I ended up being angry or irritated by Leah was surprising because I did not DNF this book.

I have never felt such annoyance with a fictional character as much as I did for Leah Burke. Firstly, I hated how unappreciative she was to her mother and when she assumed her mother was dating Wells because her mother was a gold digger? That's rich, coming from a woke teenager... Secondly, I hated how she treated Garrett. He was honestly such a sweetheart and she led him on. The worst thing was, she knew she was leading him on yet she still led him on. I absolutely dislike it when people play with other people's feelings like that. Thirdly, I hated how she projects her unhappiness to everybody and anybody like the damn world revolves around her. Apparently, to Leah, nobody is as righteous as her and as long as someone does not share her sentiments, those people are wrong. Like when Morgan said the wrong thing in a moment of anguish and rage? I agree what Morgan said was racist but the way Leah refused to see just how sorry Morgan was, I wished Anna had called Leah out way more than she did. Or when Abby repeatedly said she's confused but Leah was not having it because apparently nobody can be confused with their sexualities, right? My goodness, how does that girl retain friends?

I do not know why Albertalli wrote Leah the way she did but I genuinely hope Leah Burke was not based on someone real.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1.5/5)
