Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Leah around the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, read by superstar of Stranger Stuff Shannon Purser.

When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat – but real life isn’t often so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she’s the just child of a young, one mum, and her existence is decidedly much less privileged. And even though her mom understands she’s bisexual, she hasn’t mustered the courage to inform her close friends – not even her openly homosexual BFF, Simon.

Thus Leah really doesn’t know what to accomplish when her rock-solid friend group begins to fracture in unforeseen ways. With prom and college coming, tensions are running high. It’s hard for Leah to strike the right notice as the people she adores are fighting-especially when she realizes she might appreciate one of these a lot more than she ever meant.
