I really enjoyed this book but it felt like it was written in 2015 which it was and you can tell, see thats the issue whit pop culture heavy books is alot of them feel old very quickly. Aside from that it was a cute cozy read and my favorite parts were the emails and the scene
where Simons comes out to Abby
it felt very genuine. I personally could've done without the typical teen boy boner talk but it didnt ruin the book as a whole. Push throught the dirst half because the second is way better when simon finally comes into his own. Definitely worth reading and then watching the movie lots of diffrences but also lots of similarities love both and what they have done for the LGBTQ2S+ community.
