Annotation: 

Paul is lucky, because he lives in a town where it is acceptable to be gay, but when he finds that acceptance isn't the only path to happiness, he must overcome a broken heart and rediscover himself.  Boy Meets Boy deserves a place in libraries everywhere and more books like this should be available for teens.
