Shelf Indulgence Book Club discussion

Holy moly this ending was so cute. I was seriously smiling like an idiot for the last 50 pages.

I love the family dynamic in this and I'm so pumped for the next book. I'm still mulling over the rating though. What are you guys rating it?

P.s. I'm totally ok with it not being Nick now and I think it's hilarious that Simon had that outburst about Bram being straight and getting his shit together when it was him all along.

OMG I totally agree! I ended up giving it a 5/5 stars because I can see myself re-reading it (re-reads for me are 5/5 stars haha). I was smiling the whole time while reading it as well. The romance is so dang cute. Bram was never on my list because we were told he was straight then I realized Simon thought he was straight and was wrong haha. I'm also happy it's not Nick or Martin!

Hannah, if you enjoyed this book I think you should pick up Carry On by Rainbow Rowell!

I've read it and loved it! Come on Gabby you should know if Rainbow Rowell wrote it I've probably read it lol I think there is only one book by her I haven't read.

Haha! Ooops, how did I not know that you've read it?! My bad lol!

I really enjoyed this book. I gave it a 5/5 as well. This was a reread for me but I loved it even more than the first time. It takes me back when I was in high school. I can identify with some of the emotions he was having just being a teenager and being introduced to the world of dating. It was so cute!

I loved this book. I read it last month, and I thought it was amazing I gave it 4/5 stars. I too was really grateful that it wasn't Martin or Nick, but didn't even come close to guessing that it was Bram. That totally took me by surprise.

Also, I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but was kind of meh about Abby and Simon's sister Alice. I felt like Abby didn't fit with the rest of the group, and I didn't see much point for Alice's character.

I am super excited to read Leah on the Offbeat. I think she's a great character. Also if they make a movie out of Leah's book I totally see Rebel Wilson playing Leah. I doubt that would happen but that's who I pictured in my mind.

I agree with what you said about Simon and Abby’s relationship. I feel like we didn’t get as much character development from Abby and would have liked to see more between their friendship. And YES to Rebel Wilson!

Sorry I missed the live show. I just now finished it this morning. I think it might have got me out of my reading slump. We will see. Not sure what to rate it yet though. Maybe a 4 out of 5? I actually knew it was going to be Bram. There are small hints of it. If you go back and look he’s always smiling and such when Simon is around.

Julie we missed you during our live show!!

I’m determined to get an early start so I can be at the next one!
