I don’t know how I loved the re-read of this even more but I did.  The emails were iconic and all the little things they talked about being mentioned later on, like the oreos for example.

This was just such a cute and funny read that I didn’t even know how comforting it was to read until years later re-reading it.  The characters were so detailed and loveable.  Simon’s humor was everything.

I really liked this book.  I related to Simon a lot, which made it very enjoyable to read.  I read the whole thing in less than 24 hours
