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!

It was sweet, but predictable.
cute, fun, modern…a bit too sweet, maybe.
My favorite book.
Wonderful book! When the movie came out, I first wanted to read the book and I am so happy that I did! I love Simon and his relationships with his friends and how the story is formatted. A lot of the dialogue between Simon and his love interest is through email and they don’t know who the other is. I also love how Albertalli represented Simon’s …
3½ to 3¾ stars. Good mystery-romance, much better pacing than the movie, but much less profound than The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
My daughter has read this book and it’s sequel 3 or 4 times. I’ve read it once, and I loved it too.
It has a beautiful story . Enough to make me comment on it.
I read this book in two days because it was such a fun wild ride. I found I cared so deeply for the characters and what happened to them. The plot its self was such a great, wild ride as well; exposing me to a lot as it explored being pushed out of the closet, homophobia and being openly gay. Honestly, it reads like a good contemporary but with a …
This book was predictable if you knew what to look for, but as a reader you were just as clueless as the main character because you were so wrapped up in the mystery.
Cute, romantic, and nuanced. Albertalli truly captures what it feels like to be a teenager uncomfortable in your own skin.
Read. Now.
A great book of coming of age.
No words for this book, it’s amazing. I’ve read it like ten times and I stil cry every time. Shout out to becky albertalli for making these wonderful characters. They are so realistic!
Honestly one of the best books I’ve read so far, I highly recommend reading it!
By the way it’s amazing how easy you can relate to these well-written characters.

Watching the movie finally spurred me to read this and I am glad I did. As always, there are enough differences between the two to keep the book from being boring.
Easy reading and enjoyable.
I’m not really into romance but this book was amazing. Great comedy and really relatable.
Oh goodness!! This book gave me all the feels. It reminded me how falling in love feels like, that tingle-down-my-spine-heart-beating-fast-butterflies-in-my-belly kind of thrill. I loved it.
This book was truly moving, and was very, very heart warming! I read it in 1 day, I could not put it down!!!
I don’t normally like romance stories but when they are gay I love them. I cried and laughed reading this book and it is a great read. I love Love, Simon.
