David Levithan takes you inside the secret thoughts of various characters who all attend the same high school in this series of interconnected stories in free verse. In a short 210 pages we meet teens in love, teens trying to figure out how to relate and how to connect with each other. We meet “the girl who is in love with Holden Caulfield. The boy who wants to be strong who falls for the girl who’s convinced she needs to be weak. The girl who writes love songs for a girl she can’t have. The two boys teetering on the brink of their first anniversary. And everyone in between.” We meet Jed, the kind of magic boy who connects with everyone by showing up on the fringes of so many stories. These poems are lovely secrets.
