david levithan is very tell-y not show-y, but usually it works because it just sounds like he's speaking truth. it didn't work as well for me in this book. I did end up wanted to see what happened.
I was ill and at home, needed something new to read, couldn't go out. So I searched for my library's Overdrive service for some reading. Quite lot of the science fiction / fantasy section was checked out. So I just surfed the selection randomly and remembered that David Levithan was recommended for ...
Alert! alert! This is another book that EVERYONE should read! alert! Alert! The phrase 'rush to judgement' is a silly one. When it comes to judgement, most of us don't have to rush. We don't have to even leave the couch. Our judgement is so easy to reach for.None of these people who are talking kn...

Be thankful for that, too.” Two Boys Kissing is narrated in a completely unique fashion: instead of shifting perspe...

It's nice, the concept, that previous generations whove gone thru it are somehow connected and watching over our child...
I read David Levithan's books when I want to fumble my way through tears and hope and heartbreak and joy and then break through into lovely lovely fabulous love which feels more vivid for being tinged with pain. Just read all his books.
I have both liked and greatly disliked Levithan's books and Two Boys Kissing unfortunately falls more on the negative end of the spectrum, although I didn't hate it. I support wholeheartedly the concept behind the book and the LGBT community in general. However, I was not a fan of the style in which...
Star Rating: 5 Stars Self Purchase for Kindle. First Impression: Beautifully written When they say a book flows well, this book is what they mean. It’s so incredibly beautifully done. It’s like a breath of fresh air. It’s about so much more than two boys kissing yet that is all it’s really ab...
Warning, This book has a wrenching effects,will cause shudders and goosebumps.It is safe to say that I've read this book multiple times, not that I read it over and over, but more because I found myself stopping at almost every passage and rereading it from the start and rereading it and so on. Ever...
