I finished this book in under 6 hours, so I must have really liked it. 
It was pretty clear from the beginning that this would be a predictable story, and I was right. But what surprised me the most was how there was no drama at all. So much potential for drama, but it was all resolved very quickly and in a wholesome way. That was really refreshing to all the angst and misunderstandings and miscommunication there usually are in these kinds of stories. 
Don't get me wrong, this book deals with some sad and important issues, but it just chooses to concentrate on the positive things. I absolutely loved the friendship and found family aspect of this. And I was surprised by all the emotions I felt at several points which I was not prepared for. 
This is just a fun, wholesome, queer read. Real life is much harder, I know, but I loved to imagine how everything could be better if people were just nicer to each other. 
I enjoyed the writing style, though it might not be for everyone with all the pop culture references. And I do have an issue with some problematic stalker behavior at the beginning.

Not every book can be Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda. The Sky Blues was cute, sure, but outside of the lovely characters, the plot was very basic and too predictable.

Funny and heartfelt. Mostly focused on prom and other Senior Year stuff as well as coming to grips with being bullied for be gay and taking that and flipping it to gain support from a whole lot of unexpected allies and open the door for other students to come out. Lots of pop culture references which also in HP a lot.
