What to say about this book? I love everything about it. I
want to be Simon’s best friend. This book is just so real, I knew it would be
good but I did not expect to love it so much!
Simon is gay, and is fairly comfortable with being gay even
though he isn’t out yet. He starts an
email relationship with Blue who is also gay but isn’t as comfortable with that
fact yet as Simon is. One day this relationship is compromised, and a blackmail
situation begins because Simon doesn’t want to out or lose Blue. The blackmail
situation actually leads Simon to being comfortable enough to come out to his
family and friends. Most of them accept him but a few problems do arise, but
that really is to be expected. Blue and Simon continue their relationship
through it all.
Simon brings about some great points in his story. Why is it
automatic that the world is straight? Why doesn’t everyone have to declare
their sexuality when they are at that point in their lives? Homosexual, straight,
bisexual, asexual it shouldn’t matter.
I had a couple guesses about who Blue was but I can honestly
say I didn’t see the truth coming. Everyone I thought was wrong, but I am ok
with that because the surprise was amazing. Now I just need more Simon/Blue
stories. So get to work Becky!
This book just makes me so happy!!
5/5
