  <default_description>In this delightful young adult novel for readers 12 and up, high school sophomore Paul says, &quot;There isn't really a gay scene or a straight scene in our town. They got all mixed up a while back, which I think is for the best.&quot; And, as he observes at the end of the story, &quot;It's a wonderful world.&quot; Paul has both gay and straight friends, and they all hang out together at terrific bookstores and concerts, and advise one another on the sometimes troubled progress of their various romances. Paul is smitten with Noah, and they are beginning a serious relationship when Kyle, Paul's ex, complicates things by deciding that all is forgiven. Joni is going out with Chuck, who dominates her, much to her friends' disapproval. Tony's conservative parents refuse to acknowledge that he is gay, so the others must bone up on Bible verses all week so they can pretend Saturday night is a study group. And then there's Infinite Darlene, football quarterback and Homecoming Queen, who deserves a whole romance novel of her own. Life in their town is gloriously accepting of differences and only occasionally verges on magic realism, in this first novel in which same sex preference is not &lt;I&gt;the&lt;/I&gt; problem. &lt;I&gt;--Patty Campbell&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It's not often that I read a book so easy... easy to read and easy to like. In an almost utopian world, Paul is a teen apparently without problem: at 5 years old his teacher wrote in his profile that he was absolutely gay, and she did it as a positive thing, Paul was a lot more aware of himself than...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56589368">more...</a>]]></body>

Full Cast Audio is able to make a novel into a play in the best way.<br/><br/>Boy Meets Boy is the story of Paul, an openly gay high school sophomore, and how he deals with everyday life.

    <body><![CDATA[This was an entirely charming and delightful book. Though it may well be a book that was designed to be a gay teen love story where sexuality is a complete nonissue for the lovers, it doesn't feel gimmicky or made to fit some book concept pitch. Normally when I see filmmakers or authors attempt this...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54099880">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was okay, I'm so disappointed to say.  The writing was superb, and I have a nice attraction to the gay community.  I thought the cover was &quot;cute&quot; and the title was &quot;predictable&quot; (Gee, wonder what this story's about.)  But the author... huh, the author, David Levithan, s...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66968313">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At first glance, it seems unrealistic that this book features a largely utopian school and town, where gay people and straight people get along and don't bat an eyelash over a 6'4&quot; mtf transsexual quarterback who's also the homecoming queen (and a lesbian).
