This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

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 Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t
play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s
business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been
emailing, will be compromised.
With some messy dynamics emerging
in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue
growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all
kinds of complicated. 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.
My Thoughts
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this book. The
team over at Epic
Reads’ Youtube site seems to really love it, and I’m kind of obsessed with
their videos. So of course this means I can’t wait to pick this baby up.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
Oh this book is so good! I read last month and I just fell in love :) I'll probably buy it when it comes out! Great pick this week :) Check out my WoW:
