Join us for the next meeting of the Read With Pride Book Club in partnership with The Bookworm! The book club will meet to discuss "Two Boys Kissing" by David Levithan, which highlights themes like queer ancestry, book banning, and the art of protest, among others. Everyone is welcome, even if you haven't finished the book yet; there will be plenty to discuss, and plenty of snacks!

The book club will meet to discuss "Two Boys Kissing" by David Levithan, which highlights themes like queer ancestry, book banning, and the art of protest, among others.

The based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are no longer a couple yet are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record--all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of dating -all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other.
