4.0
While this was very good, it didn't make it into my list of favorites. I really liked the use of the emails for storytelling. I think that was a very fun and inventive choice. I think I was mostly not a huge fan of Simon as a main character, because for the most part I really enjoyed the story. I just felt that as someone who was scared of letting his friends in on who he was he started to loose sight of being a good friend. I also felt like the few times he drank he didn't just act drunk, he tarted to feel like a different character.
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Alcohol
There is some alcohol use and some homophobia from Simon's classmates.
