"Love, Simon" in summary - what exactly is it about?

Simon lives with his family in a suburb of Atlanta. His big secret: he is gay... and nobody knows it. Otherwise, the teenager leads a relatively normal life with good friends and a mostly unspectacular everyday life.

At some point, Simon meets a gay (but anonymous) classmate on the internet. He calls himself Jaques. A special friendship quickly develops between the two of them via e-mail.

An exciting, sometimes profound plot begins and the game about love, friendship and self-acceptance takes its course.
