My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 Did I read a different book than everyone else? 
 The Long Version: 
 Okay, so I've been told for a long long time that Simon Vs. is cute and funny and a great lgbtq read. But I feel like I read a different book than other people did. 
 Yes, Simon drunk is funny. Yes his interaction with his family (and kudos to including a YA novel with family involved) but all I kept seeing was blackmail (literally occurs on the first page) and (view spoiler)[ people being outed without their consent (hide spoiler)] which isn't what I would call "happy" or "cute." And like, yeah the ending is great and there are funny moments throughout but I just can't stop thinking about those two things. And it's all put on with a funny/quirky spin and I don't know. I'll write a better review later when I'm not on my break at work. 
 ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: bullying, homophobia, blackmail, outed against will, mention of divorce
