Book Review | Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan

In my 2015 Reading Wrap-Up, I talked about my newfound love for David Levithan. Like I mentioned in my last post (which was literally three hours before this one), I said I had visited the library. Along with checking out On the Fence by Kasie West, I also checked out Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan since I wanted to read more David Levithan. And I'm so glad that I did. David Levithan never ceases to amaze me with his stupendous writing skills.

Summary:
Paul, like any sophomore boy, is finding love to be difficult. But with the help of his friends Joni,
Tony, and Infinite Darlene, he just might manage to make it through the year with his heart unscathed.

But that's until Paul meets Noah. And Noah is the boy that just might change everything.

Gosh, I love David Levithan. Did I say that already? David Levithan just has a wonderful way with words. I thoroughly enjoyed Paul's character. He's intelligent and such a people-person. I also enjoyed his town and his high school, how they readily accept anything "different." Paul's friends were also great. Infinite Darlene had such a sparkily personality, and deep down, she was a good friend to Paul. Tony and Paul's friendship was beautiful and deep as well. I loved Tony's character development.

The story itself was beautiful It was also heart-warming and even made me laugh at times. I can't get enough of Levithan's witty humor. Boy Meets Boy is such an adorable story. I gave it a solid 4/5 stars.
