I DEVOURED this book, as in I got home and finished all but 20 pages by 8:00. I literally had to force my eyes away from the page, and close the cover. I have never felt so represented by a book in my life. In fact it kind of scares me how many similarities I draw from this book. Which where my one concern about this book comes up. If this book is an incredible representation of my headspace at this time as a 14 year old girl is it a accurate portrayal of a 16/17 year old boy? For my sake I hope not because I thought the angst was supposed to be over by 15. I don't know if I can handle another 3 years. 
 That being said I love this book. Simon is a very three dimensional, real character, and kept the book light with his witty sense of humor. His friend group feels very real, and the dynamics rang very true. Every character (even the side one's) felt thought out, and unique. 
 SO much love for this book, and can't wait to read the next one. :))
