He tries to talk to him but ends up being awkward. Before he heads to school, Simon sees a man he finds attractive working with a leaf blower. He considers himself fairly normal, other than his one 'huge-ass secret': he's gay. Simon spends time with his three best friends - Leah (Katherine Langford), Nick (Jorge Lindeborg, Jr.), and Abby (Alexandra Shipp). His younger sister Nora (Talitha Bateman) is an aspiring chef. His parents are former quarterback Jack (Josh Duhamel) and valedictorian Emily (Jennifer Garner). The film starts with Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) as he tells us about himself. But circumstances lead to Simon manipulating his friends' love lives, all in an effort to maintain his secret. As Simon tries to figure out who Blue is, he starts to see his classmates in a new light. In the support they end up providing each other, Simon begins to fall for Blue not even knowing who he is. With that posting having an email address where one can respond, Simon begins an anonymous correspondence with Blue opening up about his own struggles. He discovers that he is not alone: another classmate calling himself 'Blue' (a pseudonym) is posting online about his own gay struggles in the closet. He knows especially his parents would be all right with his homosexual orientation, despite Jack's often politically incorrect jokes, and that most of the students accept Ethan, their one and only openly gay classmate, but Simon has failed to come out for various reasons, mostly having to do with the change that would occur in what he has known as his life. But there is a 'but' in Simon's life, the big secret that he's been keeping now for a few years: he's gay and in the closet to everyone. Leah just transferred to their school, Creekwood High, this year, but they feel like they've known each other a long time.

He has a close group of friends, Leah, Nick and Abby, the former two who he's known almost all his life. He has a loving family, parents Emily and Jack Spier, and his younger sister Nora Spier. Simon Spier, a high school senior, leads and has led what he considers a perfectly normal life.
