Young Adult book which sensitivity deals with homophobia and outing. 16 year old Simon falls in love with a guy via email anonymously. When a series of emails fall into the wrong hands he finds himself being blackmailed. He is outed. A great coming of age story that deals with homosexuality beautifully. You fall in love with Simon and want him to be loved. A great read, particularly for teenagers struggling with their sexuality
