<p>Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.</p>

<p>Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.</p>

<p>But what Starr does--or does not--say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.</p>

<p>Leah On The Offbeat</p>

<p>1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestseller!&nbsp;Goodreads Choice Award for the best young adult novel of the year!</p>

<p>In this sequel to the acclaimed&nbsp;Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda--now a major motion picture,&nbsp;Love, Simon--we follow Simon's BFF Leah as she grapples with changing friendships, first love, and senior year angst.</p>

<p>When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat--but real life isn't always so rhythmic.</p>

<p>She's an anomaly in her friend group: 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Plus don't miss&nbsp;Yes No Maybe So,&nbsp;Becky Albertalli's and Aisha Saeed's heartwarming and hilarious new novel, coming in 2020!</p>
