Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met.

Incredibly funny and poignant, this twenty-first-century coming-of-age, coming out story—wrapped in a geek romance—is a knockout of a debut novel by Becky Albertalli.

Plus don't miss Yes No Maybe So, Becky Albertalli's and Aisha Saeed's heartwarming and hilarious new novel, coming in 2020! 

Ratings and reviews

Movie or Book; need I sanymore? Dook 100x BETTER! Period ( except a few books, imo, where movie Better (Eragon & Ender's Game); imo, naturally. So, this bork. Actually not like movie Where leaves one wanting MORE! /MO! Book is Complete although wish was More! & these 3 in series but it's the Best (again my biasm Shining b/c Book "THAT GOOD"! ) The back 'n forth b/t Simon & Bram.... what this Tasteful Love Story ALL About & True friends, coming Out Parents (Scary!) Along w/ sibling. family & more

A strange love story that constantly asks you who is blue with every person Simon meets. The readers voice portrays a very convincing version of what you would think Simon would sound like. Not to mention that his other voices for each character adds great fuel for you, the listener to imagine each character in a amazing written love story. Would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for this type of book.

I loved the story and the person reading it did a great job. They changed their voice to show different characters. The story had me to the very last word and I would love to see more of it continued. I would suggest this book if you want a romantic story about a guy living his life falling for another guy in a strangely sweet way.
