"Love, Simon" is based on the book "Simon and the Homo Sapiens Agenda," which is really excellent. My kids have both read the book: Kiera is pretty sure the movie won't be as good, but she wants to see it anyway. We all think "Love, Simon" was not a great title for the movie, although "Simon and the Homo Sapiens Agenda" is a great book title that wouldn't make a great movie title.
The thing that really strikes me about the previews of "Love, Simon" -- it looks like it's being presented as a teen movie where the main character is gay, as opposed to being presented as a gay movie. Which I'm all in favor of, because of the wider reach.
