The title is very intriguing. I wish that book had been written and available so much earlier. It would have been so helpful in my own mid-teen years. Your book explains and elucidates so many of my feelings during the 1965 to 1975 time…

Oh my goodness, what a sweet story. I don’t mean sappy—I mean the protagonist has a fantastic personality (airily witty, a little insecure, loving, impulsive, just precocious enough to be adorable and just bad enough at stuff to be…

A book that I think I like the movie better. The start was slow and hard to get into.

How come no one told me Simon was a Harry Potter fan?!? I would've picked this up much sooner. I loved that the characters were flawed and made mistakes, but not such ridiculous mistakes that I wanted to scream at them. Overall, it was…

I have never watched the movie (although it's on my list), so I decided to read the book. I loved it from the very beginning. All the characters were so relatable. The whole "Blue" thing was a mystery to me throughout the whole book, which…

Absolutely perfect. This is narrated by Simon, and he has such an interesting voice/tone. The characters feel so real, and references to popular culture--My Chemical Romance, manga, etc.--really help make the reader feel like this world is…

I loved this book. Simon is a boy I think everyone can love sweet, nerdy, and theatrical. The book follows him trying to deal with the fact that he will either be blackmailed or outed before he is ready. I just enjoyed the book all the…

so glad, saw the movie first. Book is a lot different but enjoyable. If I read the book first the mystery of the final out come would have been ruined...

This one was really fun! I love epistolary novels to begin with and then add some teenage love/angst and I'm sold. Plus I will fight anyone not fully in love with Simon. Every character in the book was well written and not flat. From…

Over the past year I have seen the movie numerous times and absolutely it. Reading the book made me love this story even more. If you have only seen the movie, please do yourself a favor and read the book.
