\"A remarkable gift of a novel.\"—Andrew Smith, author of Grasshopper Jungle

\"I am so in love with this book.\"—Nina LaCour, author of Hold Still

\"Feels timelessly, effortlessly now.\"—Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever

\"The best kind of love story.\"—Alex Sanchez, Lambda Award-winning author of Rainbow Boys and Boyfriends with Girlfriends

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met.

Incredibly funny and poignant, this twenty-first-century coming-of-age, coming out story—wrapped in a geek romance—is a knockout of a debut novel by Becky Albertalli.

Plus don't miss Yes No Maybe So, Becky Albertalli's and Aisha Saeed's heartwarming and hilarious new novel, coming in 2020! 


He’s trying to protect one secret identity while maybe falling for another. What could possibly go wrong?


  • Anonymous Email Romance: Simon has no idea who Blue is, but they’re sharing everything online. He just knows he’s falling for a guy he’s never met.
  • A High School Blackmail Plot: When Simon’s emails fall into the wrong hands, he’s forced to play wingman for a class clown or risk having his secret exposed to the entire school.
  • Coming Out on Your Own Terms: A funny and heartfelt story about the scary, awkward, and amazing journey of figuring out how and when to share your true self with the world.
  • The Book That Inspired Love, Simon: Before it was a beloved major motion picture, it was the award-winning novel that captured the hearts of readers everywhere.
