Simone is HIV-positive - and positive HIV won't define her.

She also knows that celibacy is the best way to stay safe.
Enter Miles Austin: intelligent, funny and way too sexy for Simone to resist.

But her classmates don't know that she's HIV-positive - and what is the truth worth in the hands of the wrong person?

'Romantic, funny, hopeful, and unflinchingly real' - Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon Vs The Homosapiens Agenda

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.
