A roller coaster ride of innocent love to ole'fashioned high school drama, Boy Meets Boy mixes it up with classic romance elements with a gay utopia setting. (Almost) Paul, our young hero, is a cute kid in love with new boy Noah, losing best friend Joni, gossiping with Infinite Darlene and wondering about Kyle. 
 Boy Meets Boy is a wonderfully sweet and short book about sweet high school romance, without focusing overtly on the gay part. Boy Meets Boy is a novel best enjoyed, if it's not taken seriously; it's a sweet drama of Paul tackling his emotions and defining the relationships with important people in his life. Do not expect a huge social commentary on the spread of homophobia or the need of acceptance in communities - Boy Meets Boy skips over these issues entirely. Instead Leviathan shows us an ideal community of male love, without harping on cliche "gay" stereotypes. Leviathan attempts to show any reader that gay love is the same as any other innocent romance. 
 Besides the themes of Boy Meets Boy, the characterizations are sincere if not a bit standard. Paul is our troubled hero, confused about choices in love, while his whole crew of friends range from unusual Infinite Darlene to the mysterious ex-boyfriend Kyle. However, the characters never come off as fake or cliched, they seem like real breathing people that I would totally take out for coffee (Well, most of them..) Boy Meets Boy is not for the audacious or controversial reader, rather it is a sweet high school romance that will make any reader's heart flutter. *Squee*
