Alrighty and for the lovely month of June. To celebrate pride, I will attempt to review or post about a book everyday. (In full disclosure I have already read, some will be new to me as well.) Pride day #1, Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan. I have read this book many a times. This was my personal first LGBTQ+ book I ever had the pleasure of reading. I checked this book out of my high school library and was admittedly hiding it away to myself in my backpack and only taking it out late at night to read. I was still very confused and nervous about my sexuality and felt super giddy and in awe that people actually published books with two boys liking each other. As I remember this book, I can only imagine young and nervous Waverly checking out a book like this and reading again and again as she tried to decipher her own feelings, and then abruptly pushing these feelings and curiosities away until Ms. Officer Haught walked into her life. David Levithan always tends to write books that have people out and ready to take on the world. In this book follow the story of Paul and his first love. This also being set in a very progressive and accepting high school/town. This again I adore simply because it is always refreshing to see a young adult novel that is more of a rom com novel than a coming out story.
