This book is very fast pace and I like it, but at the same time, the love story is a slow burner. You see how the love flourish little by little with each mail that Simon & Blue fall in love. Love the friendships and the family relationships are strong and how they accept sexuality of the boys.
It is a book that touches a lot of themes that are important to show them in young adult books. Themes like drinking underage, driving, and drinking and the social media and the way to use them.

I finally got my hands on this book and devoured it as quickly as I possibly could. Oh my goodness, did I adore Simon!

I felt that for a YA novel this had way too much cursing. I mean the f-bomb was repeatedly dropped. I have no issue with cursing as I do it myself ...more

I have been sitting here writing and deleting my review, because I am having a hard time making sense of how I feel about this book. Well, that's not exactly true. I know how I feel, but am having a problem articulating it.

I know that I enjoyed this book very much. It wasn't a 5 star for me, but that was only because I thought that the coming out would have had more conflict (if that makes sense). It just seemed to good to be true that all family and friends were so supportive.
