In his follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Every Day, David Levithan, coauthor of bestsellers Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Nick & NorahÕs Infinite Playlist, crafts a novel that the Los Angeles Times calls Òopen, frank, and ultimately optimistic.Ó
Based on true eventsÑand narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDSÑTwo 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.
