Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

2/5 ⭐
I'm trying to read more queer romances so I picked this one up. It wasn't awful but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I didn't really like the writing style. I can't really pinpoint why. He said “freaking” way too many times. Literally every other sentence and it was so annoying to read over and over again. Anyway on to the plot. I liked the emails between Simon and Blue and the mystery of trying to figure out who Blue is. However, the reveal of Blue's true identity was somewhat anti-climactic for me. I think that it was because we barely knew who this dude was. Also, nothing in the book made me feel anything which is one of the main reasons why it got a low rating from me. The coming-out scenes and the parts about Simon getting outed just didn't get any emotions out of me. Also, I was not invested in any of his friendships or any of the arguments between them. We also didn't get very much of the romance because Simon didn't even know who Blue was until the book was almost over.
