Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda (Simonverse, #1)

by Becky Albertalli

The beloved, award-winning novel is now a major motion picture starring 13 Reasons Why's Katherine Langford and Everything, Everything's Nick Robinson.

----------

Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better.

Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for.

But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated.

Because, for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal ...

It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal.

----------

Oh, all the feels with this one!
I think I read the book within one afternoon. Becky Albertelli created a heartfelt novel that's nothing short of adorable. It's all there, the sad, the happy, the funny and the heartbreaking. I want to give Simon a hug and be his best friend.
Although it's a film focused on a high school situation it doesn't feel like your stereotypical drama situation. There is plenty of drama but it feels realistic instead of those plastic images we so often get with other books or movies.
There's honestly nothing I didn't enjoy about this book.
