I’ve been wanting to read this for a while. I saw the movie when it first came out and I couldn’t watch the movie for a while without guilt because on the day I went to see it, I had a feeling I should have called my grandfather and the next morning I got a phone call saying my grandfather who raised me passed away. So, watching the movie was hard for me and I couldn’t think about reading the book for a while. I’m finally in a place I can actually watch the movie. I finally picked this book up for a library challenge for summer reading for a book to movie. This book follows the movie pretty well, but has changes too. I highly enjoyed it and want to read the other books now. I really love Simon and his friends. This book was so great.
