Finished!! So overall I thought it was a good book, but I think what took it from "just okay" to the level of "good" was the like last 50pgs!!! like can you say ADORBS!!!

Now I need to watch the movie "Love Simon!" Anyone else going to watch the movie??

Chapter 1-9 I honestly don't have much to say. I've seen the movie so I know how it kinda ends (though I don't remember WHO blue is, but I can remember his face) I didn't really care much for the movie, it was just okay. I'm feeling the same way about the book. It entertaining enough, but just not completely enthralling for me. That's it really. I don't really have anymore thoughts, lol

[callie]

Chapter 10-End So I kinda had to binge the rest of this book today because I totally forgot it was due today, but thankfully I finished! I think I'm gonna give it a 3-3.5/5 stars, It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't amazing. It was just okay, it didn't make be feel any strong emotions .I didn't get invested in the characters, like they all could have died and I wouldn't have really cared. I heard a lot of hype about this book when the movie was coming out and I almost picked it up then, but I'm glad I didn't and settled for the movie. I feel over time (and after seeing the movie) by high expectations for the book went down so I wasn't completely disappointed, but if I read it when it was still really hyped I would have liked it less. It's just not my taste I guess. (view spoiler)[ After getting a little more into the story I thought the name Bram sounded familiar about halfway through I started guessing it was him, but I wasn't 100% sure. Which is weird I guess cause I've seen the movie. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[ I LOVE that his dog's name is Bieber (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3 - (view spoiler)[ Simon's family seems quirky and fun.. So funny that they watch the Bachelor like it's their religion (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Okay I'm ready to know who Blue is! What if it's Nick.... (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ Maybe Blue is Martin? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Yay! He told Abby! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 19 - this is worst case scenario :(

[Rachael]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad he told Martin off! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ The whole world is falling down around Simon :( Poor Simon (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[Oh my god sounds like my family with Heartbreak Island (some totally trash show :p) (hide spoiler)]

I love the way he did too <3

[Maddie]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 13 [spoilers removed]"

I never suspected that! But then with audios I don't tend to theorise, I usually just go with the story and take the plot twists. If I think while I listen I get too lost

(view spoiler)[I'm just soooo glad his parents weren't bad about it, and the only real bad scene was the guys at the rehearsal. (hide spoiler)]

I really like Simon and his friends. And I love the e-mail exchanges between Simon and Blue.

[Jammin Jenny]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 13 [spoilers removed]"

At first I thought Blue was (view spoiler)[Calvin because that is a president's first name (hide spoiler)].

[Jammin Jenny]

I love that he told (view spoiler)[Abby first because she was one of his newer friends so it was easier for him to confide in her with something that could rock his other friends worlds. (hide spoiler)]

[Jammin Jenny]

I think that (view spoiler)[Martin is going to get some kind of revenge in Creekwood #2 - it was creepy the way he was waiting in the parking lot... (hide spoiler)]

I really had no idea about that, as I don't follow American politics, or any politics XD

[Maddie]

Are you going to be reading Leah on the Offbeat (Creekwood #2)?

Ch 7 (25%) - (view spoiler)[ I still can't believe that Martin is blackmailing Simon and that he thinks Simon can just snap his fingers and make Abby fall for Martin. Oh, and about the blackmail - if both Simon and Blue are using aliases, how would Martin go about exposing/proving that it is Simon in the first place? I guess it wouldn't solve the problem of exposing Blue's emails though. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 19 (54%) - (view spoiler)[ That little shit! I can't believe Martin did that!!! But, I guess in a way it did lead to Simon coming out to both his family and friends - it's the silver lining in this situation. I still feel bad that his hand was forced by that little prick though (like anyone is going to like Martin for doing that). Random thought - could Leah like Abby and not Nick? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 28 (76%) - (view spoiler)[ I seriously thought Simon was going to get date raped there by the college guys. Thank goodness that didn't happen, I don't think Simon could handle one more bad thing happening to him. Maybe a little grounding will be good for him - give him time to cool down and adjust to things? (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[ Ok first (and randomly), there seriously wasn't anyone named Thomas or Will or Andrew or James or JOHN in his whole school for him to guess about the President comment - I mean Calvin? and Bram? There might as well have been a character named Woodrow or Millard. Ok - I'm done with that random rant.

I loved this book. I thought it was well done. I liked Simon's character and all his friends (except Martin for obvious reasons). I thought the way Simon and Bram got together was adorable, and the way they felt giddy about each other? it gave me a toothache. (hide spoiler)]
