Boy Meets Boy Genre

Young Adult Literature

Boy Meets Boy is a story about teenagers as told by a teenager, which places it squarely in the young adult lit category. Adding to its YA status is the fact that it won the Lambda Literary Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature in 2003, thereby marking it as a classic of the genre. Also, David Levithan is an editor for Scholastic and has collaborated with John Green and Rachel Cohn—so he's pretty much YA all the way.
