Episode 136: Boy Meets Boy

On Episode 136, Alli and her guest discuss David Levithan’s trailblazing queer YA romance, Boy Meets Boy. Published in 2003, the novel tells the story of a high schooler named Paul, his many complicated relationships, and a utopian town in which all people are loved and accepted. Tune in for a conversation about the guest Ashley Woodfolk’s personal connection to the book, why Boy Meets Boy is so powerful, our changing vocabulary around identity, friend breakups, and more. Ashley Woodfolk is a YA author. Her new books — the paperback edition of When You Were Everything and Noelle: The Mean Girl — are out today! Later this year, look out for more of Ashley’s work in Blackout, Tobyn: The It Girl, and Battle of the Bands. Follow Ashley on Instagram (@ashwrites) and Twitter (@AshWrites). Hosted on Acast.
