“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!

Here’s the set-up:

Senior Kelsey Quinn had it all. Nordstrom platinum card. New Car. Hot, rich boyfriend. Until her dad lost his job. Flash forward six months. Kelsey and her two sisters are stuck in a rundown farmhouse in the middle of Hickville, Texas. And if feeding chickens, slopping pigs, and mucking stalls isn’t bad enough; they also have to work in their parents’ feed store. Kelsey is determined to find a way to return to the Cinderella life she left in Chicago. But she doesn’t count on meeting the six-foot plus cowboy with the easy attitude and smiling eyes.
Austin McCoy feels sorry for the three greenhorn sisters from Chicago. It must be hell to have been plucked from their private school and shopping malls and plunked in the middle of Hillside, Texas. But the sister who really gets his pulse jumping is the oldest, Kelsey. On the outside she’s all attitude. But when no one is looking and she forgets to be angry, he sees another side of Kelsey Quinn. The one whose eyes light up when she feeds the chickens. Now all he has to do is convince her the guy she really wants is the cowboy working with her, not some rich dude taking her to a ball in Chicago.
