《Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda》简介：

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised.

With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met.

《Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda》摘录：

我从我这一排人前面挤过去，走下台阶，感觉好像运动场里每双眼睛都在盯着我。跟着，我来到栏杆下面，拍了拍卡尔的肩膀。 “怎么了，西蒙？”他说。我喜欢他叫我西蒙。很多人都管我叫斯皮尔，对此我并不介意，但我不知道。老实说，我觉得不管卡尔·普里斯管我叫什么，我都喜欢。 “嘿，”我说，“我能和你们坐在一起吗？” “当然了。”他给我挪出一点地方，“这里很宽敞。”确实如此，反正我不必坐在他的腿上。而这真是不幸。 我整整花了一分钟去想该说些什么。我的大脑不听使唤了。 “我觉得我以前从没在比赛时见过你。”卡尔说着把刘海从眼前拨开。 我无法思考了。因为卡尔的刘海。因为卡尔的眼睛。还因为他显然很注意我，知道我从不来看橄榄球比赛。 “我是第一次。”我说。这可是我说过的最纯情的话了。 “太酷了。”他是这么冷静。他没有面对我，因为他不能同时说话和看比赛，“我能来的时候就会来。至少我会赶来参加校友返校节。” 我琢磨着该如何问他一件我不能问的事。或许我可以提到空气里的气味，看看他做何反应。可如果我说了那样的话，而卡尔就是小蓝，那他马上就会意识到我是雅克。我想我还没准备好面对这种状况。 可是，我真是好奇到了极点。
