WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?
Boy Meets Boy is a standalone novel narrated by Paul, a gay teen, as he completes one academic year at his very non-conventional high school. How non-conventional? Well, the football team’s quarterback is also this year’s homecoming queen, the cheerleaders ride Harleys, and being straight-out gay is perfectly okay. But even in this oasis of tolerance, Paul still has normal teen problems. First, he starts dating quiet newcomer Noah, but soon discovers he might still have feelings for his ex, Kyle. Then, his best female friend, Joni, starts dating not-so-nice-guy Chuck, and begins drifting away from their close-knit circle of friends. What’s a boy to do? Can he sort out his feelings and keep his friend group together before everything falls apart?

WHY YOU SHOULD READ IT
A treasured classic in the LGBT community, Boy Meets Boy is a funny, touching tale about acceptance of self and the true love our friends and family give us, despite the stupid mistakes we make. Recommended for all walks of life.
