<i>Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda</i>, a book that deals with some heavy topics but with humor and love. She has quite a few other works that are written with positivity, hope, and the experience of someone who has clinically worked with LGBTQ+ kids (she
was a clinical psychologist). She’s also co-written with Adam Silvera. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
