A solid, quick YA read. The first person plural narration by the generation of gay men who died of AIDS in the 1980s lends the book a certain poignancy, but at some points their parts rather distract from the stories of the multiple boys in the present. The ending is ambiguous, but it might have bee...
Edit November 2016: I loved this book. Truly, I did. Here's the thing, though: I would need to reread it in order to write an in depth review. Because I didn't take notes when I first read it so all I have to say is "I fucking loved this book" and "go read it right now". Expect a reread and a full r...

This book is beyond beautiful.Originally started as a short prose piece to be included in the LGBT anthology How Beautiful the Ordinary, which I also enjoyed, this novel is an amazing testament to ...

This book kicked me in the feels SO MANY TIMES. And just when I thought I'd go numb, some glimmer of hope for humanity would prop me back up so I could keep turning the pages. I have no idea why I'm trying to review this when I don't even have words yet for what I just experienced. I might try to ex...
Let me tell that this book took me by surprise. I started it thinking it was going to be another YA book but with gay protagonists instead of the typical "boy makes girl fall in love with him". However that was not what I found. I was completely amazed by the characters trying to leave in one way ...
Honestly, I have no idea how I heard about this book. I just finished with The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and needed an audiobook for my commute. I searched through my goodreads to-read list and found this one. There's something truly amazing that happens when the voice actor is the author. And thus b...
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.
