"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.

5By kyle.vernorThis book came into my life at the most perfect time. I am coming out publicly at 22 and I only wish I had been courageous enough to live in the truth sooner. Even so, I still wrestle with concealing my sexuality on a daily basis. On this day, I vow to live and love for myself only. Thank you, Mr. Levithan, for reinforcing my strength and pride.Awesome!
5By NecroAetherTo the Inappropriate comment below! Really!?! You fail to see that if this was a book about a boy and a girl you would have no issue whatsoever! But because it's about 2 boys your offended!? It's in this catagory BECAUSE it's about LIFE! PLAIN AND SIMPLE! The fact that 2 boys are the focal point should have no baring at all! I feel sorry for you that you can't be open minded and not a massive bigot! This book is amazing and should be read by all!!David Leviathan Does It Again

5By Tophy32This may be perhaps the most moving novel I've ever read. A job well done by David Levithan for creating this beautiful novel. Absolutely love the perspective throughout the novel of the past generation; it gave me so much clarity about my own life and even my generation itself. Thank you, David Levithan, for making me feel human.Awesome
