CW: outing

I watched Love, Simon for the first time last night and loved it, so of course a reread was necessary. I loved it all, honestly. Not sure what I can say that hasn’t already been said. Simon and Blue are adorable nerds and Martin can walk into a volcano. 10/10 will probably reread again, maybe every Pride Month.

Full review and more on Heir of Glitter.

This book exceeded all of my hopes and expectations, and I totally understand why everyone loves it. Simon is such a relatable character, and his relationship with Blue is adorable. I loved how quirky and present his family was, and that he had a large group of friends rather than being a loner. I'll definitely be reading Becky's new book when it comes out, and until then, I'll just read a million more fluffy LGBTQ+ books. :)

White shouldn't be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn't even be a default.

I've seen this quote everywhere and now that I've actually read it I love it even more!

Bram is Blue?! I never saw that coming! I honestly thought it was Cal... and I'm so glad it wasn't Martin. I can't believe I didn't put the pieces together, because Blue's email was a major clue. But I'm glad I didn't, because the reveal at the carnival was adorable!
