About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, read by star of Stranger Things Shannon Purser.

When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat - but real life isn't always so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she's the only child of a young, single mum, and her life is decidedly less privileged. 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.

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. 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.

Critic Reviews

I love this fresh, funny, live-out-loud book. (Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places)
The love child of John Green and Rainbow Rowell

A remarkable gift of a novel.

(Andrew Smith, author of Grasshopper Jungle)
Both hilarious and heart-breaking
A brilliant beacon of optimism and cuteness for LGBTQA+ youth in a genre often bogged down with tragedy and heartbreak. Books like SIMON do change people's lives (Waterstones Darlington)
All stars

nice but I was very frustrated by Leah and her behaviour throughout the book. i know it was supposed to be about her issues but sometimes it got too much for me.

nice
