Two Boys Kissing | August 21, 2013

by David Levithan (Random House Children’s Books, August 2013)

2013 has already proven to be a big year for David Levithan – his groundbreaking Boy Meets Boy celebrated its 10^th anniversary earlier this year. And next week, his latest novel, Two Boys Kissing, will be published. Narrated by a previous generation of gay men who died from AIDS, Two Boys Kissing is a novel that is large in scope and impact. At the center of Two Boys Kissing are Craig and Harry, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a Guinness World Record. This landmark event draws together several other boys in the community – including a couple of over a year and a boy who has never felt comfortable in his own skin – and successfully captures the essence of what it means to be a gay youth today. This book is an incredible read with an important message that should be spread far and wide.
