Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan

In a vibrant, queer-friendly town where acceptance is the norm, an openly gay teen navigates first love and friendship as he tries to win back the artistic boy he let slip away. Balancing the complications of an ex who isn’t over him, a best friend constrained by strict parents, and shifting loyalties within his circle—including a dazzling trans homecoming queen who’s also the star quarterback—he discovers that love requires honesty, patience, and creative gestures. Whimsical and hopeful, it celebrates the messy beauty of growing up and the strength of community.
