Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan

Boy Meets Boy

by David Levithan

Love meets love. Confusion meets clarity. Boy meets boy.

To be together with someone for twenty years seems like an eternity. I can’t seem to manage twenty days…

How do you stay together?

Paul has been gay his whole life and he’s confident about almost everything. He doesn’t have to hide his feelings like best friend Tony or even cope with loving the wrong guy like his other best friend Joni.

But heartbreak can happen to anyone. Falling in love changes everything.

This is my second audiobook, and I really enjoyed the full cast that performed Boy Meets Boy. The different voices really brought the book to life, and the voice effects were fun, and very effective and conveying the characters' situation in the story.

The story was adorable, with all that awesome Leviathan flair. One of the best parts of this story was Paul's high school. This place was home to so many fun and bold characters: a drag queen quarterback, a motorcycle gang cheerleading squad, the "joy" scouts. Each new school/town quirk bought a smile to my face.

I enjoyed being there with Paul as he tried to navigate his love life, his social life, and his school life. He was looking for closure, while trying to build a new relationship. He was trying not to lose his friend as she embarked on a new relationship. He was trying to help his friend mend his family ties, while being true to himself. Sweet and heartwarming story.
