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 ... Becky Albertalli returns to the world of her acclaimed debut novel, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda , in this warm and humorous story of first love and senior-year angst. Review: A Brutally Honest, Heartfelt Book - Once again, I'm weak for Becky Albertalli's books. After reading "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" and being totally in love with it, "Leah on the Offbeat" was a must-read for me. I pre-ordered it on March 26th--the day I finished the first book--and spent nearly a month obessesing over the day it would arrive. When it arrived two days ago, I dove in immediately. From the beginning, I was hooked. Leah is a character who really takes nothing from anyone and is totally aware of who she is, bisexuality and all--except for one thing: is she falling for the girl she never thought she would even LIKE? With college nearing and prom on her brain, Leah is completely confused about who she likes and who she doesn't like, and this is very relatable for any teenager. Leah on the Offbeat will take you through a wild ride with Simon Spier's best friend, Leah Burke, a high school senior who is not yet out to her friends but is also unmistakably and painfully falling head over heels for one of them. This is one of the best books I have ever read. Unlike other LGBT books, this is so much easier to digest as opposed to darker, heavier plots and characters. It's a lot more relatable, in a way that really makes your heart clench and your head just want more. It is a must-read for everyone, especially LGBT teens and young adults like myself. Once I started, I could not put it down, and that's really saying a lot. It's the perfect mix of heartfelt and hilarious and just brutally honest, and the way it's written just makes you want to read beginning to end with no break. Leah is a very sarcastic and witty character, and her classic deadpan lines are spot-on and make you giggle a little, and her point of view makes you see things in an entirely different light. She's quirky and uses every reference to fanfiction and fan art each chance she gets, and that's not something you often read in a book. It's definitely unique, unafraid of telling the story of a realistic teenager, even mentioning body image and the need to feel beautiful in your own skin, and those awkward moments and kisses everyone regrets. I actually shed a few tears towards the middle and end. It's definitely an emotional roller coaster, especially when you can just feel Leah's pain and anguish as she realizes she's falling madly for someone who may not even like her back, and quite frankly, Leah is not too thrilled that she's falling hard, either. I was a mess when I closed it for the last time (maybe not the TECHNICAL last time). Becky Albertalli has done it once again. She's written a masterpiece that will stick with many of us readers. Well done, Albertalli. You've won us over again. Please read Leah on the Offbeat. It's an experience worth having. Even if this isn't your sort of thing. You just might be in for a huge surprise. Review: Leah's chance to shine! - Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli takes you back to Creekwood, where you get to rejoin Simon Spier, Leah Burke, and all of their friends. This novel is all about Leah--you get an inside look into what's she's thinking and feeling as she explores her bisexuality. I really enjoyed this book! While I didn't find it as immediately engaging as Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, it was sweet and charming in its own right. The writing was superb. When reading it, you feel fully immersed in the high school experience. The pacing was good. Whether it's a witty retort or panicking over a kiss, Leah is always up to something. The plot development was nicely done. The events unfold slowly, and you're really not sure which direction the novel is going to go. I wasn't sure who Leah was going to end up with, and I wasn't sure if she would ever tell her friends about her bisexuality. Leah didn't seem to have as much internal turmoil as Simon did in his book. She seemed more comfortable with who she is. While there's still a fair amount of angst in Leah on the Offbeat, it wasn't quite the drama-fest that Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda was. The ending was sweet and wrapped up the story nicely. It ended on a positive note, which is always nice. The last chapter makes you feel good about how everything turned out. The characters in the book were quirky and complex. Admittedly I didn't like Leah quite as well in this book as I did in Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. While I really enjoyed the book, I thought Leah was a hard character to like. She has a chip on her shoulder and a grudge against the world. A lot of times she comes off as an unlikeable jerk, and some of her comments were needlessly rude. Regardless, she's still an interesting character, and her character was well-written. If you enjoyed Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda and are itching to get back to Creekwood, then pick up Leah on the Offbeat. I'm glad I pre-ordered this book, and I highly recommend it to others. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,838 Reviews | ## Images ![Leah On The Offbeat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9151Rc6pF3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Brutally Honest, Heartfelt Book *by S***. on April 26, 2018* Once again, I'm weak for Becky Albertalli's books.

She’s a fabulous drummer in a band, a band that almost breaks up because Leah calls out a member for making a racist comment. But when it comes to her love life, she’s a bowl full of jello. No one knows she’s bi. She’s super-frustrated by the girl who seems to be teasing her. Does she want to be her friend or more? This is a love story, albeit an unconventional one. The dialogue is snappy and non-young adults may get lost in the modern slang. The scenes move along at a rapid clip. Stuff happens. It’s senior year and a close-knit group of friends have chosen their colleges, for the most part. There’s some drama around whether long distance relationships will work. There are clueless cling-on boyfriends. Leah has to deal with her mother’s boyfriend. With the exception of the jealous boyfriend and the prom setting, Albertalli largely avoids clichés. This is a nerdy crowd. Leah draws anime. Enough said. Some characters are really drawn out, though I would have liked to know others better. I could really see Leah, though I don’t know anyone like her. I would have liked to get a clearer picture of the girl of her desires. Her close friend Simon is well-defined, but I couldn’t get a read on his boyfriend Bram. The ending called for a bit of suspension of disbelief, but it worked. Probably because Albertalli made her prom date such a doofus. All told, Leah in the Offbeat was a thoroughly enjoyable and quick read. I’m not a young adult. It would be nice to think there were tight groups of friends this diverse: black, bi, gay, questioning, white, hetero, though I haven’t seen it with my young adult. His friends check a couple of the boxes. Maybe it’s aspirational. Maybe other high schools are this diverse. In any case, the diversity of the characters made the book interesting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/65327299-leah-on-the-offbeat](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/65327299-leah-on-the-offbeat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
