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.
This book is just so great! The characters are all likable and relatable, the story was great to read, and overall it's just a wonderful book. I loved the narration, which is by the lost gay men during the AIDS epidemic during the 80s-90s, and it's just astounding. It actually made me cry. Overall, just wonderful.
