Two Boys Kissing
The novel, based on true events, follows Harry and Craig, two seventeen-year-olds who are about to take part in a thirty-two-hour kissing marathon, in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record. During the feat of endurance, the former couple tries to figure out their feelings for each other. While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become the focal point in the lives of other teens dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming-out issues, and navigating gender identity.
