This is probably one of the most cheesy, love stories I’ve read in a while, but it was an amazing read for the amount of “sappy” romance. With the release of a movie portrayal I thought I should get my copy before it was gone . The novel follows a high school student,  Simon, who is also a closeted gay . Simon emails another kid from his school , of which he found on tumblr of all places . Both Simon and the mystery boy are anonymous on these emails . They share email after email and secret after secret . Until one day he forgets to log out of his email and another student begins to blackmail him. From there, Simon goes through his days trying to keep their secret. The novel was just as good as I expected and really made me excited for the upcoming movie in march . Nick Robinson (Jurassic world , Everything Everything star ) has been cast as Simon . Katherine Langford (13 reason Why star) as well as some other headliners have been announced so far .
