This book was just as incredible as the first time. Becky Albertalli is a queen, she's hands down the best ya author of this decade. I love Simon, I love Bram, I love Oreos and I love this book. Read it and read it now.

This was THE CUTEST book I've ever had the pleasure to read! Albertalli perfectly encompasses the feelings many LGBGTQ+ teenagers go through!
It was so pleasantly refreshing to get a fluffy coming of age story that just so happens to focus on a gay boy; while there are some super tense moments it is still so different from the usual crushingly angsty coming out stories that make up the majority of LGBTQ+ literature (particularly young adult literature).
Albertalli manages to perfectly describe what it feels like to be an LGBTQ+ individual who has not 'real' reason not to come out but still shudders at the thought, Simon (and his inner dialogue) is is makes him one of the most relatable characters I've ever read about.
I also love that in the end, we get a poc love interest since most LGBTQ+ couples we do see are usually both white!
Everyone and I mean everyone should read this book!
