Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised.


Really cute teen romance. Well-written and charming and does a good job of being LGBTQ+. It's a fairly typical YA, but I enjoyed it a lot and thought the characters engaging and believable. I did think the end was a tad quick compared to the slow build of the rest of the novel, but it's a minor nitpick.
