What follows is a cute - although angsty because how can it not be? - and sweet love story. What's in the letter makes him ask Simon to track down Kyle so he can be there for him. I don't remember who Dayton is.īut anyway, for the past five years he's gotten sweet letters from KQ (or Kyle) every Valentine's Day and when he gets one in October, he knows something could be wrong or out of the ordinary. ![]() I vaguely remember Prince from the last full length book in this series, and I think he was the bodyguard of either the spoiled kid who tried to kill Simon (thinking he was Simon's brother or whatever) or one of the better cast members of Hawk's daughter's show.

Matthew: The celebrated run of 80s-era films that rapidly cemented Meryl Streep as a master among screen actors is so overwhelmingly remembered for its cadre of fatal, self-sacrificing period heroines that it was only inevitable that Streep’s two comedic outings would recede into the background of her now four-decade career.
