En rørende og morsom kærlighedsroman. 17-årige Simon er ikke helt parat til at springe ud som homoseksuel, da en af hans e-mails falder i de forkerte hænder, og han risikerer, at bolden ikke længere er på hans banehalvdel: Enten hjælper han Martin, klassens klovn, med at få en date, eller også vil Martin afsløre ham. Pressen skriver: »[Forfatteren] har formået at skabe en perfekt YA-roman, som er formidlet spot on. Sproget, omgangstonen og særligt dialogerne er simpelthen så imponerende, at man skulle tro, at det var skrevet af en 16-årig […] En rigtig feel-good-roman, hvor man efterlades med smil på læben, utallige grin, og det er skøn læsning til de sene aftener […] Bravo til Becky Albertalli for at skabe en ungdomsroman, som byder på det hele: Venskab, kærlighed, hemmeligheder, stormende forelskelse og en fyr med navnet Simon, som er så modig og skøn, at han helt sikkert vil inspirere andre til at være ligeså modige.« – Eva, Bookeater »Becky Albertalli har skrevet en troværdig, levende og autentisk fortælling om det, at skulle springe ud som homoseksuel […] en uhyre vellykket ungdomsbog, der har alle de rigtige ingredienser. […] Stor applaus herfra!« – Nønne Lønne Votborg, Bogvægten »Jeg tror faktisk, at de fleste ville elske den her bog.« – Anne Mette, De Unges Ord »Velskrevet og lettilgængelig ungdomsbog.« – Christine Christensen, Lektør »Åh Becky, jeg kan lige så godt få det af vejen med det samme og sige: Jeg elskede din bog Simon vs. verdens forventninger! [Det] var simpelthen så befriende at læse en glad og "let" bog […] En af mine yndlingsbøger fra i år!« – Louise H, Kære dig »Det er længe siden, at jeg har læst en bog, der har gjort mig så glad indeni og efterladt mig med et kæmpe smil på læben. Simons historie er sød og skøn, og han er en humoristisk og realistisk person, der tog mig med storm […] Bogen får 5 stjerner af mig, og selvom den er henvendt til unge, bør alle gøre sig selv den tjeneste at læse den.« – Camilla Henningsen, Bogrummet
