LOL. Okay, I couldn't resist. I'm not a fan of Harry/Malfoy erotic fan-fiction, but it cracks me the fuck up. I mean, I'm not against it though...
ANYWAYS.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. Seriously, it's one of my all time favourites. Maybe my new obsession = books that involve young, troubled gay relationships. Maybe that makes me insane. Maybe I love being insane. But regardless if I'm insane or not, this book kicks ass.
I don't even know why! It's really short but it's just filled with so much awesomeness. It's so heart-felt and funny and heart-clenching and intense. Maybe I'm over-dramatic about it. I don't know. But I KNOW this is going to be one of those books that I read 930853925 times and it will never get old, NEVER.
But yeah, it's about a gay couple. In high school. Paul meets Noah who is a new guy and they fall for each other pretty fast but Noah is super hesitant because he had a super bad relationship in the past and it upset him super amounts. Why did I feel the need to use the the word super so much in that sentence?
Anyways.....DRAMA! Paul's ex (Kyle) all of a sudden starts being super random and wants to all of a sudden be a part of Paul's life again...go figure!
And with all the gossip going around (thanks to Infinite Darlene, the cross-dressing male who is also the QB of the football team) and Paul's best friend (Joni) all of a sudden dating a complete idiot and Ted (Joni's ex) being a broken-hearted annoyance and Tony (Paul's best friend who is also gay) having difficulty with his super christian parents, things obviously are going to get complicated.
And that's what it's about. READ IT. I love it. Read it. Now. It won't take you long. It's so cute, so cute, so cute. I love young gay love. I don't know why! It's just beautiful. Oh, and for those who aren't too happy with books about young gay couples, I'll at least let you know that there's nothing graphic in it really. Just kissing. But why would anyone be against it? It really burns me up, to be honest, and I find it idiotic.
5/5 stars, it DESERVES IT! I love David Levithan, I want to kiss him.
QUOTES!
"The pond's surface is like a wrinkled blue shirt, with small buoy-buttons marking the distance of water. The paddleboat wrangler has named the boats after his seven daughters. From the time I was little, I've always chosen Trixie, because she's orange and has the funniest name. This time the paddleboat wrangler lifts his eyebrow at me because I go along when Noah chooses the light green Adaline. I like the idea of following his whims. I like the idea of going with him into a boat I've never been in before. Trixie has seen me with Joni and Kyle, other friends and other guys; she has also seen me paddle alone for hours, trying to sort out my problems by leaving a wake. Adaline doesn't know any of my secrets."
"Do you know when you cross against traffic? You look down the street and see a car coming, but you know you can get across before it gets to you. So even though there's a DON'T WALK sign, you cross anyway. And there's always a split second when you turn and see that car coming, and you know that if you don't continue moving, it will all be over. That's how I feel a lot of the time. I know I'll make it across. I always make it across. But the car is always there, and I always stop to watch it coming."

PS I'm done adding these for the day. IRL I'm on book #45 or 46, I don't remember, but I've almost reached 50. I'm totally going to own that shit, though. I mean, it's not even August yet! I still have a good five months, LOL.
