I loved this book. So I'm headed over there right now to vote for it. I agree, Kaje, it would be cool to see this book continue and win the award.
Even though I had problems with the way David wrote this, I did cast my vote both in the semi, and final rounds. He deserves the win as much as any of the others that made the final.
So the book didn't win the category, but it got over 7000 votes. That's a lot of open minds :)(and the gay romance Lover at Last did win the adult Romance category :)
Even though it didn't win, that is good news.Also, two of the other finalists, Fangirl and Out of the Easy have LGBT content.
To bad it didn't win but yeah, 7,000 votes it awesome.
Thats a shame but 7000 votes is great.
Yes, I think so too. We make steady progress. Or sometimes unsteady, but this book would have horrified a lot of people as a Young Adult award nominee forty years ago when I was a teen. It gets better.

While at this stage you can write in other books to nominate, it's generally the case that it takes a dedicated campaign to get a write-in on the final ballot. Despite there being other wonderful books that deserve recognition, I'd like to see the Levithan get enough votes to continue. So I would urge you to consider voting for this book. It would be very cool to see a book with this topic and this cover win the award for all of GR this year.
