Two Boys Kissing
Author: David Levithan
New York Times bestselling author David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS.
While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other.
This follow-up to the bestselling Every Day showcases David’s trademark sharp-witted, warm-hearted tales of teenage love, and serves as a perfect thematic bookend to David’s YA debut and breakthrough, Boy Meets Boy, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2013.
I do a little happy dance every time I hear someone mention this book. I adore David Levithan and I can't wait for this to come out.
This sounds very different from anything I've read so far. Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

This sounds like a really great book! I am adding this to my TBR list. Thank you so much for sharing.
I've got Every Day on my TBR shelf because I've heard such great stuff. I hadn't heard of Two Boys Kissing before reading this post, but if I enjoy David Levithan's writing in Every Day, I'll definitely be adding 2BK to my To Read list! Thanks for the mention 🙂
I did not get along with Every Day by this author. It just didn't sit well with me. So, I honestly don't know if I would enjoy this one or not. I am definitely curious to read some reviews for it though!
