A really sweet fairy-tale-like love story between two teen boys.
I thought this book was brilliant, I borrowed it off a friend who told me I should read it, I have to say I wasnt dissapointed. The characters were really good and all had their own thing going on. It amused me highly that the boy in this book was barely 14 and he had drag queens in his class. Sometimes I laughed and a couple of times I felt for the characters sadness. I like the way you got to see inside the main characters head and see how he was dealing with crushing on a boy who he doesnt kn

I love David Levithan. He is, to me, one of the most important figures in young adult literature. Not only is he the author of a dozen YA novels, but he is also the editorial director at Scholastic and the founding editor of the PUSH imprint. Rather than gush over his amazingness, which would literally take days, I encourage you to visit his website so you can see for yourself. Or, you can just pick up a copy of Boy Meets Boy.

I love love love this fantasy without magic, but with people who genuinely love each other!
Paul goes a high school that is the fantasy of many gay kids: the captain of the football team is also the homecoming queen, she wears dresses to school everyday. In fact, there’s a whole clique of drag queens at this school. Heterosexuality is the unusual practice here, where P-FLAG is as big a draw as the PTA and the Gay- Straight Alliance (which is more popular than football) was formed so straight kids ...more

This book was really good, (4.5 stars to me) David Levithan is an amazing writer who made an amazing word where everyone is accepted for who they are: gay, lesbian, straight, drag queen, or whatever.
All the characters where dynamic, they all grew up by the end of the book and though it's shorter than most stories i've read there is so much that goes on in these 185 pages that doesn't make it seem like it's that short.

Inspired by the Patty Griffin song "Tony", this young adult novel about gay teens is a fairy tale in disguise, a poem painted on a soap bubble. It managed to continually surprise and delight me, with lovely little throwaway references and unexpected turns of phrase.

All around happy story. :D Just put a smile on my face.
I absolutely adored this story. It was so refreshing and real and honest. The main characters were young and the world was one of the author's own making, but man I wish I lived in it. This is a love story but it's also an insightful portrait of how hard it is to discover who you are, and it's even harder to stay true to it once you figure it out. Definitely a keeper for me.

A cute story about a boy that meets a boy and falls in love. Pretty simple but there's ups and downs as there is to every story.
