YES!
+Simone is black, adopted, bisexual, obsessed with musicals, and HIV positive. She was born with it and takes her medication everyday. She doesn't tell anyone though, after the disaster at her previous school. However, someone starts leaving her notes saying to stay away from her crush or they'll tell her secret.
+Very straight forward discussions of sex. Sex is complicated, and more so for Simone. However, she's not afraid to ask questions and talk about it with her friends, doctors, support group. Maybe with her dads though.
+Friendship is messy but wonderful. Fights happen, but the love is there.

NO!
-The original stage production is not automatically the best or better than the movie version. I don't like media snobs. People can like whichever version they like.

What an amazing and enlightening novel. It's my first time reading a fictional book where a character had HIV and the research that went into this novel absolutely shows. It was informative but never dull, and it really drove home a lot of facts about HIV and shed light on the ignorance surrounding it.

I loved Simone. She was fun and so freaking smart and knew exactly who she wanted to be (or definitely had a pretty clear idea anyway). I really liked seeing her interactions with her friends, dads, and Miles. She was such a genuine MC, and I loved the following this story through her eyes.

Honestly, every character was a pleasure to meet (for the most part), and I think they all brought something important and necessary to this novel.

Definitely looking forward to reading anything and everything by this author in the future.
