Entertainment Weekly, August 21, 2013: "Author David Levithan's poignant novel follows the stories of gay teens joined through an unconventional protest. A- " The Washington Post, August 20, 2013: "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." "Brilliant, moving, important, and wise." - Jennifer E. Smith, author of This Is What Happy Looks Like and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight Starred Review, The Bulletin, September 2013: "Both celebratory and elegiac... There's much to discuss here about identity, about social media, about community--and it would be a particularly stellar choice for a multi-generational LGTBQ-focused book club." Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, June 3, 2013: "A landmark achievement from a writer and editor who has helped create, in literature, a haven for queer youth." Romantic Times Book Review, September 2013: "Thought provoking, poignant and beautifully written, above all this is an unbelievably important book for anyone who has struggled with identity, love and loss. The omniscient narration is incredibly moving and appreciative of the fragility of life. A groundbreaking addition to the LGBT genre and community." Kirkus Reviews , July 15, 2013: "The novel has genuine moments of insight and wisdom...Inspiring." Bookish.com , May 6, 2013: "Levithan takes contemporary to a whole new space with this novel, finding new ground in storytelling around important issues that directly affect teens today." Booklist , August 1, 2013: "Levithan leans intensely into this work...There's little doubt that this title, with its weight, significance, and literary quality, will find its way into LGBTQ and wider cannons. Stock up." School Library Journal , September 2013: "The story will engage readers, both female and male." "The high level of imaginative and intuitive empathy that is apparent in all of his works is especially strong here--as not only are his protagonists fully realized, but so are the voices of the collective narration, whose experiences are as varied as the characters on the page... It is the best book I have read this year. " - Maggie Tokuda-Hall, Books Inc. "Everyone needs to read this, not just YA. How perfectly David puts the past, present and future into one small novel. Now, as soon as my eyes stop watering and the goose bumps on my arms go away, I can continue my day." - Carolyn Anbar, Watchung Booksellers "Levithan's choice of narrator was inspiring and heartbreaking. Giving a voice to that generation and exposing young kids to those voices, blew me away... Two Boys Kissing feels like a very important book, something I think everyone should read and something that's touched me in a way no YA has in a really long time." - John Kwiatkowski, Murder by the Book From the Hardcover edition., Bookish.com , May 6, 2013: "Levithan takes contemporary to a whole new space with this novel, finding new ground in storytelling around important issues that directly affect teens today."
