by Becky Albertalli
I'm not crying, you are. reread 2k19

Hello, so I won't be posting a review of this on my blog for personal reasons, but time to enjoy one here! This book broke me into a lot of pieces and I have words to say:
First and foremost, I think it's important to mention that I flat-out sobbed halfway through and then sniffled through the rest. It just really, really resonated with me and made me both so happy and so sad and just—Simon deserves everything, he really does. ALSO WHY IS THE WORLD STILL HOMOPHOBIC? YALL, GET IT TOGETHER.
Secondly, I love Simon and I love his character's voice. I know it made the novel a little less "intelligent", so to speak, and all that jazz, but his voice felt so real and raw, which I think made it ten million times better. Nothing felt distant, and I felt as though I was Simon, which is really, how all books should make you feel.
And Blue...my sweet Blue. Unfortunately, I started the book knowing who he was because I clicked the "view spoiler" button on a review (ten out of ten, do not recommend). BUT, I don't think that made my experience reading this book any less (also I could see all the signs and be like HA I see what you did there, Becky, I see you).
Wow, I get so much more informal in Goodreads-only reviews.
Anyway, yes, Blue was this amazing guy and I loved him and totally see why Simon fell for him. I mean...his perfect grammar! Nauseated instead of nauseous! He's the full package!!
Okay yeah...onto Simon's friends and all of them. I didn't like Leah, at all, and after reading the first three chapters of Leah on the Offbeat I don't think I will enjoy it, despite wanting to see a f/f relationship in YA so badly. I DID like Abby, but I think she was wrong to blame Simon at the ending (though thankfully she saw the light). I think my favorite was Nick...he's such a sweetheart.
Also Martin. No. Do not like. I don't care if he apologized, he's a jerk and needs to repent for his crimes. Just...
Anyway, this book is immensely important. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've never really wanted to see something so badly in my entire life. Hopefully, soon?
