Boy Meets Boy
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.
This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.
Painfully mediocre.
Part of love is letting a person be who they want to be. 3.5 stars. Although this is a very short novelnot even two-hundred-pages longit explores different themes worth contemplating, with a huge emphasis on romantic and friendly-inclined relationships. Pauls high school is like no other. Every student feels free to be who they are or want to begay, lesbian, drag queen, transgenderwithout fear of being targeted by other classmates. Though, to make things clear, this is no utopian novel. Pauls
dnf @ 20% for nowI might go back and finish this but I really am not liking the audiobook so I can't finish it via that method right now. I like the concept of this book but I'm not sure about it right now, but its short so I might save it for a readathon or something and read it in physical format
Any book that makes me cry deserves at least 4 stars. Boy Meets Boy managed to squeeze tears out of me on several occasions. It doesn't mean, however, that this is one of those downer novels where someone dies or suffers horrible decease or misfortunes. Quite the opposite, this book is actually upbeat and lighthearted, and my tears were tears of pride and relief mostly.The setting of the novel is unusual. In fact, I am dying to borrow from Tony Kushner and call Boy Meets Boy a gay fantasia. A
This book is a bit of a period piece. It's a fantasy world for lgbt kids escapism with a good message. In 2005, I can see this book having been a lighthouse for scared lgbt kids. Unfortunately, it really hasn't held up with the times. Over time, I've become less convinced of this world's relevancy, I suppose. When I reread this one in 2016, I felt like it was almost too much. And I don't mean too much gay; it's depressing how this utopia isn't even close to a reality. It's depressing that
Sadly this really didn't work for me. 1 star for Tony - loved him!1 star for the World - (town where everyone co-exists, gays, lesbians, bi's, drag-queen/quarterback and Joy Scouts). The story is told in first person from Paul's POV. Paul is a gay high school student who's dealing with all the "fun" that high school tends to bring, seeing his ex-boyfriend on a daily basis, enduring all the drama his friends can dredge up in a day, and also falling for the new boy in town. The biggest problem I

Boy Meets Boy is about Paul, an openly gay kid in high school. Of course he has his problems and his drama but none of it really involves his sexuality - he's just that comfortable with it. However, his friend Tony does have a problem with it. Or more like his parents do, because Tony's parents are like the bible worshiper type. Then there's Kyle, Paul's ex-boyfriend who can't seem to decide what he wants. Joni is Paul's best friend who might not be his best friend for much longer. InfinitePainfully mediocre.
