"You have to read this.” —Rainbow Rowell, bestselling author of Eleanor & Park and Carry On
From the New York Times bestselling author of Every Day, this love story of shared humanity and history Hypable calls "an interconnecting web that will leave you emotionally exhausted and absolutely thrilled to have read something so beautiful and unique."
Based on true events—and narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS—Two Boys Kissing follows Harry and Craig, two seventeen-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teens dealing with universal questions of love, identity, and belonging.

Not another one! Write about how you think being gay is acceptable by everyone. Two men, two women. Cannot reproduce. Not acceptable. Get some hormones.

Honestly, this was the first literature book I've read, and for that reason, I can't say much about how it compares. But I can say this: I've never been so captivated by anything ever; I finished this book within four days. Throughout its entirety, it was like reading my consciousness, my emotions, and my thoughts. I saw large pieces of myself In each character. I wound definitely recommend this to any gay teenager looking for a great read. My ONLY complaint is that it felt short.

I absolutely loved this book. It was written very well. The different stories in the book were amazing and very realistic. I loved how the narrators were unlike any book I've read. David Levithan is one of my favorite authors, and he did a tremendous job writing this book.
