Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save lots of his drama for the institution musical. But when a contact falls in to the incorrect hands, his top secret is at risk of getting thrust into the spotlight. Right now change-averse Simon has to discover a way to come out of his safe place before he’s pressed 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 within a geek romance-is a knockout of a debut novel by Becky Albertalli.

And don’t miss Yes Zero Maybe Thus, Becky Albertalli’s and Aisha Saeed’s heartwarming and hilarious new novel, coming in 2020!
