Simon vs the Homo Sapiens by Becky Albertalli

My rating: 2.5

Simon is a high-school boy who is gay but not open about it .He has an anonymous gay email penpal  that things are getting flirtatious with....and the email falls into the wrong hands so Simon is now getting blackmailed.


This book was 'cute' at best but VERY juvenile and had a simplistic plot line. Definitely not following the current trend of "mature young adult". I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. I am not sure where the high ratings are coming from (teens?) as this wasn't near as good as Carry On and the emailing plot line paled in comparison to "Tell Me Three Things" that did it so beautifully.
