Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Meets_Boy_(novel)
Why: This is part of my 2014 YA Lit challenge

When: January 2014

How: as an ebook on my iPad

Thoughts: I loved this book. Lots to think about. It's set in a high school that doesn't operate on the heteronormative view that organizes our society for the most part. The GSA in this book, for instance, exists to help the straight kids learn how to dance for homecoming. The quarterback of the football team is transgender and also the homecoming queen. And in the middle of all of that, a romance builds--a realistic, honest, teenage romance.

Review Haiku:
teenage love without
the obstacles of our world
human loves human
