L is for Levithan
I just finished reading Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan. I listened to it as an audio book. My first impression was that the story was going to be annoying because the way it is read can be over the top sometimes. However, once I settled in to the story and got to know the characters better I found it really enjoyable. The story takes place in an idealized town where kids don't care about sexual or gender orientation. The narrator is Paul, who has known he is gay since he was five. The fact that he is gay is not the main point or a conflict in the book. Rather, it is a story about him falling in love, and still struggling with feelings for a past boyfriend. This is a refreshing read for teens that doesn't view being gay as being a problem. After reading the whole book I will definitely recommend it to others.
