We follow Simon, a young gay man who is not yet out to his family and friends. He is in love with a mysterious person he met online. The book follows as he navigates high school life while growing into a person who is comfortable with who he is to himself and the world. There’s blackmail, tumblr outings, and even a tilt-a-whirl. This was a lovely coming of age story and I can see why it was made into the movie Love, Simon. It’s the type of story I normally find boring, but this one kept my attention throughout the audiobook. That is in part because of the reader, and part because you fall in love with Simon yourself, and you want good things for him.
