Based on true events—and narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS--Two 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.
 
Named to the National Book Award Longlist

Reviews -

“There are more than two boys kissing in this book, and every one of them will reach your heart. You have to read this.” - Rainbow Rowell, author of Eleanor & Park

“Remarkable.” -  The New York Times

"Author David Levithan's poignant novel follows the stories of gay teens joined through an unconventional protest. - Entertainment Weekly

"Over the years, Levithan has consistently explored new creative territory...'Two Boys Kissing' reveals his command of an intriguing, complex narrative with an unusual point of view: the first-person plural. This 'we' is the combined voice of men who died during the AIDS pandemic several decades ago. As the boys’ stories become more closely entwined and connect in a satisfying finale, the reflections of these 'shadow uncles' lend a quality of retrospection that is rare (and refreshing) in YA literature." - The Washington Post

"Open, frank and ultimately optimistic." - The Los Angeles Times
