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.

basically I was born To be nosy.

the book was So good. I really appreciate the writing and the way the narrator made each character and situation seem like It could happen to you and the Book was Super relatable and I loved it overall. it was really good. I wanted more by the end.

Cuteness Lvl. 100

I am so in love with this book. The characters and The hole history is so freaking cute and awesome ❤❤❤.

.I had a good time reading the book

I had a good time reading the book once I was into the story, but it took me a long time to feel interested enough and care for the characters enough to want to keep reading. I start reading and then put it down for a few weeks for not being too motivated to read it, but when I start the audio version of it, I got back on track. I found it hard to stop at that point.

The characters were really charming, sure Simon was sweet, but Blue was the sweetest and I felt so protective towards him. I would love to see things a little more from his point of view but I was very pleased with the overall story.

The plot was fine. There was a little bit of angst on it but also a lot of hope on it. I had a good time with it, even though I’ll admit it wasn’t all I was expecting. I’m not too fond on YA and that might bias my view on it but there was something in the book that kept me from loving it. I do think the narration was great. The narrator’s voice was as sweet as I would imagine Simon’s and very captivating. Overall it was a fun book to read. Mostly recommend it to readers who like reading YA.

Cute but very predictable

I figured out Blue's identity way before the reveal, along with various herrings and predicted other less important things before they were revealed. Still, it was very light and fun and a great book to listen to between other heavier listens.

SO GOOD!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I loved this book, it wasn't overdramatic and there was no intense love story. This book just felt so relatable. I felt like I had become friends with the characters in this book, i was part of their lives as well it was that good. I felt sad when the book ended because I just wanted to know more, kinda like when your friends graduated from high school emptyness. But none the less, it was great. Funny, real, and personal. Loved it and 10/10 would recommend
