Rating: 3.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 Simon is gay, but he hasn't told anyone besides the boy he emails, "Blue," who is also gay, and who Simon is able to talk to about anything. But Blue doesn't REALLY know who Simon is, since Simon writes under the name "Jacques." Simon goes to use the library computer to check his emails because he is too eager to wait until he gets home. Once he's done, he forgets to log off. The next person who uses the computer, Martin, sees the email and screenshots it as proof that Simon is gay. Martin uses this information to blackmail Simon into helping him get together with Simon's friend, Abby. 
 I finished this book in one day, even though I didn't mean to. This was just such an easy, light, enjoyable read that I didn't feel the need to put it down. I love Simon as a main character. He's humourous, sweet, and I love the way he tells the story. The narration seems like he's just casually talking to you and I love that. When reading contemporaries I tend to enjoy a light, casual writing style and this book was perfect with that. 
 A lot of this book is spent wondering who the mysterious Blue is. Throughout the book we get to read some of their adorable emails back and forth, which was one of my favourite things about the book. Surprisingly, I didn't guess who Blue was, even though he was pretty much hidden in plain sight! 
 The main reason I didn't rate this book higher was because there was too much drama in it for my liking. And I don't mean the tense, anxious, eager drama, but more of the jealous, brooding teenager drama. I found that a lot of the characters seemed like real teenagers, but at the same time I found some of them pretty ridiculous. They seemed to get extremely jealous in the blink of an eye, or create a feud over nothing. I mean, I'm almost positive stuff like that happens in high school, but I feel that it took away from the story a bit. 
 Overall, this was a cute, fun, light read that I'd recommend for anybody who enjoys contemporaries or romances. If you'd like a quick read or something to cheer you up and make you laugh, this is the book for you. Give it a try, it's worth it!
