Publisher's Summary

Now a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox: Love, Simon.

William C. Morris Award Winner: Best Young Adult Debut of the Year

National Book Award Longlist

"A remarkable gift of a novel." (Andrew Smith, author of Grasshopper Jungle)

"I am so in love with this book." (Nina LaCour, author of Hold Still)

"Feels timelessly, effortlessly now." (Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever)

"The best kind of love story." (Alex Sanchez, Lambda Award-winning author of Rainbow Boys and Boyfriends with Girlfriends)

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 Simon is actually being blackmailed: If he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing with, will be compromised.

With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. 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.

truly amazing

Listened on one go. Brought back lots of feelings of being gay in high school. I cried a lot more than i thought i would and stayed up all night just to finish it.
Thank you so much for this book.

Best Novel EVER!!!

This book was literally everything I wanted it to be and more. Not only was it cute as hell, but it was believable, and dare I say relatable. Even if your not dealing with the exact same feelings Simon does in this book, everything from family to friends to just surviving high school is relatable. It helps that every single character is amazing and fleshed out...you actually feel for every character and you constantly are surprised by there development. The number one best part about this book, though, are the emails between Simon and his anonymous crush, Blue; every single chapter focused on there conversations is funny, sometimes sad, and oh so cute!!!! I did not want to put this down AT ALL and the fact that its becoming a movie is even better. Honestly, if you are looking for something funny and cute than this book is most definetly for you; just be ready to feel all the feels.
