  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s what I know about the realm of possibility&amp;#8212;&lt;br&gt;it is always expanding, it is never what you think &lt;br&gt;it is. Everything around us was once deemed &lt;br&gt;impossible. From the airplane overhead to &lt;br&gt;the phones in our pockets to the choir girl &lt;br&gt;putting her arm around the metalhead. &lt;br&gt;As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist &lt;br&gt;within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits &lt;br&gt;are of our own world&amp;#8217;s devising. And yet, &lt;br&gt;every day we each do so many things &lt;br&gt;that were once impossible to us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enter &lt;i&gt;The Realm of Possibility&lt;/i&gt; and meet a boy whose girlfriend is in love with Holden Caulfield; a girl who loves the boy who wears all black; a boy with the perfect body; and a girl who writes love songs for a girl she can&amp;#8217;t have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are just a few of the captivating characters readers will get to know in this intensely heartfelt new novel about those ever-changing moments of love and heartbreak that go hand-in-hand with high school. David Levithan plumbs the depths of teenage emotion to create an amazing array of voices that readers won&amp;#8217;t forget. So, enter their lives and prepare to welcome the realm of possibility open to us all. Love, joy, and these stories will linger.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't know that this book was written in verse until it was too late, so I was a little weary. Thankfully, I really enjoyed this book. David Levithan has a real knack for character and in this book he created 20+ of them. Yeah it wasn't always perfect, but when it was good it was great.

    <body><![CDATA[So I feel kind of conflicted about this book because I really wanted to like it and I did, but so many of the poems were just too overly sappy/sentimental/angsty for me, but the thing is they're supposed to be written by teenagers and when I was a teenager I would have written poems EXACTLY LIKE THE...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46012844">more...</a>]]></body>

From that point on, their was no question about it- I was going to buy this book, because it was something to reread over and over again.

    <body><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Though it is &quot;Young Adult,&quot; I would recommend it for a more mature reader. It is written entirely in poetry, though the types of poems vary. Each chapter represents the voice of a different student in the high school.
