Idk if anyone else has noticed this, but in this scene of Love, Simon you can see that Simon has the book More Happy Than Not on his shelf. Coincidentally, More Happy Than Not also features a boy struggling with his sexuality, so whether this was planned or that Becky Albertalli is just friends with Adam Silvera, it’s still a cool feature because it implies that Simon read it and maybe helped him figure out himself.

I TOTALLY SPOTTED THIS IN THE MOVIE THEATRE! Adam Silvera’s not my favourite author – his books just didn’t speak to me, nbd – but I know they’re really important to a lot of people, and that the people dressing the set took the time to put queer books on Simon’s shelf meant a lot to me. I just wish we had a great front-on shot so that we could see the other books, because I’d put money on there being more queer titles up there. Bless this set dresser, they did good.

Just got back from seeing Love, Simon…

*clutches heart*

It isn’t perfect but it shouldn’t have to be perfect, it’s a cheesy, sweet movie about growing up and coming out and I just think it’s a great time to be alive, that we get a film like this from a major studio without a misery chaser. The boy kisses the boy, his friends love him, his family loves him, and that’s the end. We deserve happy endings.

That awkward moment when a “donate blood plasma” commercial comes on in the previews of “Love Simon” and the entire theatre of gays looks into the camera like Jim in the office.

React just did an episode where their reactors got to see a full screening of the movie, and it’s great! Especially since over half of the reactors they had (Danny, Morgan, Sharon, Jonathan, and Dionte) are gay and shared their stories and how much the movie affected them. Also everybody was crying.

this is how you ally.

Other than that this was a genuinely great book, after reading it I immediately passed it on to my best friend, a gay man, and I’m super psyched about the film??

Also: Becky’s new book, Leah on the Offbeat, is about Simon’s friend Leah realising she’s bi so maybe she’s gonna help Simon unlearn some of his misconceptions and prejudices? Keep an eye out – the book releases in late April 🙂

Actually just on that, Becky has said that Leah has known since she was 11 that she was bi!

And there’s my friends… We do everything friends do. We drink way too much iced coffee, while gorging on carbs.
