Simon Spier is a gay sixteen-year-old boy who is not quite ready to come out at school yet—but when a classmate attempts to blackmail him over a cache of soul-baring emails between Simon and an anonymous penfriend, he decides it’s time to take control of his own narrative. This is a feelgood teen novel sitting somewhere between Heartstopper and You’ve Got Mail; the budding relationship between Simon and the secretive ‘Blue’ will make you smile. And if you enjoy this book, Albertalli’s follow up novel—Leah on the Off Beat—foregrounds Simon’s friend Leah experiences as a bisexual girl.
