“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 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!

I personally lived the well thought out and accurate representation of lgbt characters. It was adorable and a fantastic change from all the hetero nonsense everyone’s is so used to!
I read this book for book club. I liked it, but it definitely wasn’t one of my favorite books. At first I was so exited to read it and thought it would be so good. I was slightly disappointed I did not love it more. It felt very childish. Not the topic which was mature, with it being about sexuality and love. But the authors writing style. It was …
A lighthearted story about teens navigating love. Full of characters that feel real and similar to people that we have probably all known at some point in time.
Great book. Definitely a page-turner. Very sweet, engaging book. I got invested early on as Simon’s struggles with his sexuality and the way others perceived him (the need to “fit in”) so closely mirrored that of my son at that age. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time. Heartbreaking because of how Simon and Blue are so …
I love it !!!!!!!
Honestly, this book pulled me away from reality. Once you start reading, its nearly impossible to put it down. Overall, it was very entertaining and so original and gives such an amazing and inspirational love story.

So, I broke one of my own reading rules and saw the movie first. And *whispers* I liked the movie better? But that really could just be because I saw the movie first. The movie was at times overly dramatic in ways that only Greg …
This book was chosen for my Book Club for May. I was actually very excited to read it, because I want to see the movie and I prefer to read the book version before seeing the film adaptations. I just finished this morning, so I have yet to see the movie, but the book was AMAZING!
There is so much going on that I think it’s important for young …
One of my favorite books ever! Reminded me why I loved reading.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda covers a sensitive topic and reminds you of all the reasons why you fell in love with reading. Becky Albertalli’s witty and cute main character Simon takes you into his world as he tries to understand his feelings while dealing with typical sixteen-year old high school life. This book was funny, witty, and …
I’m kind of mixed about this book. I didn’t hate it nor did I love it. It was alright. I wanted to much to fall in love with this story, but I couldn’t. The characters were fine and the story was fine. As a reader I wanted more. The drama (if you can it that, wasn’t gripping) and the tension, again it just kind of fell flat for me.
The …
This book will show that we are all very different in our own way and there is no shame in coming out to your friends and others.
One of my favourite books. I absolutely love it!
