When Love, Simon — the film adaptation of the novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli — was released 2018, it was a breakthrough not only in the big screen but also for the LGBT+ community. The coming out story of Simon Spier is undoubtedly one of the most influential YA novel and film of the past decade.
Well, this coming Pride Month prepare yourself for a treat because Becky Albertalli announced a continuation of the story, Love, Creekwood!
Me for literally years: this is the end of the Simonverse. There are no sequels coming. Never.
