If it was Simon and Blue’s clandestine emails—and how those notes let them be honest in a way the hallway at Creekwood High never could—that stole your heart, you’ll love the way Red, White & Royal Blue uses witty, vulnerable messages to build a relationship. Like Simon’s Oreo-fueled late-night inbox refreshes, Alex and Henry’s email threads turn banter into trust and private jokes into real intimacy, all while testing what happens when those private words meet a very public world.

If you connected with Simon fumbling toward who he is—balancing rehearsals for the school musical, shifting friendships with Abby, Nick, and Leah, and the stomach-flip of a first crush—you’ll find that same aching, luminous feeling in Aristotle and Dante. Ari’s quiet summer with Dante blossoms into a friendship that reshapes how he sees himself, much like Simon’s journey from anonymous emails to that heartfelt, public moment where he chooses to be seen.

If Simon’s path—from navigating Martin’s blackmail to choosing when and how to come out—resonated with you, Felix Ever After digs even deeper into identity, art, and the power of naming yourself. Like Simon parsing each clue about Blue, Felix chases answers after someone posts his deadname and photos, and his search leads to a bracing, romantic, and ultimately affirming claim of who he is.

If you loved Simon’s wit, the Creekwood inside jokes, and the theater-kid sparkle of the Oliver! production—plus the way he second-guesses how much of himself to show—Camp delivers that and more. At a summer theater camp, Randy reinvents himself to woo his crush, and the snappy dialogue, friendship drama, and big show-stopping moments hit the same playful, heart-forward note as Simon’s journey to the Ferris wheel.

If the swoon of Simon and Blue’s slow-blooming romance and that grand, public Ferris wheel gesture made you grin, What If It’s Us channels the same fizzy charm. Arthur is Broadway-obsessed, Ben’s a realist, and their New York meet-cute spirals into do-overs, awkward first dates, and big, messy feelings—much like Simon’s path from anonymous notes to an all-in, out-loud declaration.
