"If Becky wasn't a gay teenage boy with good grammar and a foul mouth in several past lives, then she's absolutely one of the most observant writers in the YA game. New Review (June 2017): Just finished my third or fourth reread of SIMON VS., this time on audio which is narrated by the amazing Michael Crouch, and wow, I love this book more each time. I'm 27 right now and SIMON remains the book I wish I had 10 years ago."

Great innuendos
Kevin Hart and Will Pharrell work really well together, although Kevin Hart looks so small in comparison.

The story is clever with some really funny over the top parts. I absolutely loved the gay cafe scene, really tickled me.

Just generally all round funny film. There is a lot of racism and homophobic jokes but they are funny, just wasnt sure if thay would be everyone's cup of tea.

A Great Coming Out Book
This book was very well written. It hits on the angst of fist love, especially if that is a LGBTQ love. I really do not think people understand how hard it is to accept that you may be gay when all your life you are told it is wrong. I think Mitchell really did a fantastic job of introducing and confronting those issues with believable characters. I read this book in one sitting.

“Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda”

Lived up to its hype! As far as a contemporary teen novel reads this one was nearly off the charts the plot was not only believable but it was also incredibly relateable! Obviously I’m not a 17 year old gay high school struggling to come out but I still managed to relate to Simon and Blue perfectly! It’s positivity and bright outlook makes it the best novel to support our lgbt community! 5 starts, a hands down must read!

Pina and Katie's adventures continue as does their quest to be together. The new characters in this book add so much more to the story that made it even more amazing. Of course I was picturing Hogwarts when I thought setting but I am a nerd. Maggiore does not just create a well paced suspense with numerous twists and turns but also captures the difficulties of being gay in that time. There is so much packed into this story I couldn't put it down. More please!
