I was expecting this book to be great and it did not disappoint me. I read this in one day because of how entertaining and addictive it is. I have to give kudos to the author for how the whole coming out deal it is for teens, but also for giving the reader the queer joy of everything turning out to be okay even if there are obstacles and the homophobia queer folks have to deal with in their day-to-day life.

I love the subtle details in it and how Simon is not just gay, he's a person, too, with hobbies and a very specific type of music that he likes, as well as every character in the book, there isn't only one thing the book revolves around, there are many things that come together in the end that make the book amazing.

This book was astounding. As dark and raw as it is, I think that's what makes it so good. I read it at the perfect time, where my heart needed a hug, and Charlie gave it to me.

The letter format was flawless. I've seen so many do it, but nobody did it as the author did it in this book.

It has become one of my favorite reads this year. I cannot express how much love I have for it. Definitely worth reading for everyone who feels like they need a friend —or just someone who is willing to listen. This book is that friend.

This was... beautiful. The amount of queer representation made me feel like I was reading Alice Oseman —which is a great thing, something I'll never ger tired of. Molly's journey with her anxiety and self-consciousness about her weight almost brought me to tears. She was certainly a character.

Though I have to say I didn't like how she was "crushing" with every guy she met, thinking every guy was cute. It was also very questionable how I thought Molly was asexual, but that might be just my opinion. There was a specific scene where it felt like Molly thought she was beautiful only after getting a boyfriend, like that was the thing that made her have value. I wish it could've been different.

I loved the format of being just e-mails, it's such an original concept for a novella, though it was tedious at some point because there were no chapters or anything. It was so good seeing them again, but now in college, but still be the same characters I'm fond of. And the end?!?! Wow, that was some plot twist. I loved how it all turned out in the end.
