Everything about this book is too cute I can't stand how enamored I was. It has been a long time since I read something light and cute and all mushy and teenage I thought it's just appropriate for what I am feeling right now. Ohh that feeling—your first love. When it was all just smiles a little hurt on the side and a whole lot of contemplating if what you decide now will affect what can be soon. Simon was so sure about himself, he tried experimenting and ended up with what will then be a monumental step on his life. (There was a little detour on how that was, and if I was in his shoes, that Martin will not see the end of day after that mid-August afternoon, I hated him.) but then I got scared, is it him? Is he Blue? Please tell me it's not him. It can't be him—don't let him be this asshole who stole such precious moment of Simon's life. I loved this book so much I want to eat it and then live the words again.

Although in my opinion, while it is coming of age and it's time appropriate, I always thought there shouldn't even be an appropriate time or decade or century for this matter. And while Simon was thinking it shouldn't be such a big deal, I agree, it shouldn't be, because it's true, straight people need not come out, why would gay people have to feel the pressure of coming out?
