book: Boy Meets Boy

author: David Leviathan

blurb: This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.

When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he's found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul's not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.

review: I needed something that was easy to read. And this book classifies as that I guess. See, when I'm in a really bad reading slump, I turn to YA romances to fill that void that I'm missing and usually I end up loving them.

With this one, it wasn't so straight forward. It was fun to read, don't get me wrong. But I had a lot of problems connecting with it. It just seemed so unrealistic. Everything about it. It didn't feel like these characters could be human, their emotions felt so calculated and fake. And their school experience was massively unrealistic.

But overall it was a fun book to read, and I got through it quickly so I can't complain too much.
