Boy Meets Boy by David LevithanISBN: 9780007191376
Openly gay sophomore Paul lives in a gay-friendly small town in New Jersey, where homosexuality, bisexuality, and being transgender is accepted and embraced. His best friends are Joni, who he has been best friends with since early childhood and who he came out to in second grade, and Tony, who is also gay and who lives in the (much less accepting) next town over with his strict religious parents. Chuck, a football player, is Joni's new boyfriend, who is confused by his relationship with Infinite Darlene, who used to be a boy named Daryl Heisenberg but who has blossomed since starting to cross-dress, and now is both the star quarterback and the homecoming queen. On a night out with Joni and Tony, listening to a friend play music in a bookstore, Paul meets Noah and is instantly enraptured. When rumors start to fly, and a kiss between two friends is mistaken for betrayal, Paul and his friends set out to prove his love to Noah over the course of seven days.
