Boy Meets Boy by David LevithanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 3.86
Goodreads Summary:
This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.
When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.
This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.
Actual Rating: 3.7
At first I gave this book 4 stars but I think I've decided it really only deserves three.
David Levithan is great at what he does. He shines light on kids with less than normal sexuality and attempts to make them . It was a fun, easy read. Nothing too deep or earth shattering.
The characters were spunky and fun and the romance aspect was cute.
The highschool DL created was crazy! They have hundreds of clubs and groups and tons and tons of students so it was weird to read about how everyone knew everything that was going on with each other.
It was little far fetched as far as realisticness (is that a word?) goes but it was still a fun read.
