Oh, I read this a few years back and really loved it. I passed it around to several different people to read and no one disliked it. The characters are just so enjoyable, it's hard not to like it.

I've broken my Harry Potter Only rule, and am about mid-way through a Paul/Noah fic. What can I say? Gay teen boys are my kink.

Yay! You'll post it, right?

Written and posted. I feel like such a perv....

[barbara83]

I read it. YAY!

[pica_scribit]

I think you may be the only one....

Glad you liked it.

Well, not a lot of people have read the book either, so maybe that's why.

I have to wonder why the hell not, because it was really fucking awesome! I just read Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist tonight as a followup, and it does not compare (though I've added the film to my netflix for curiosity's sake). How could they make a movie of that, and not of Boy Meets Boy?

I know, I gave it to a few people to read and they all loved it. Besides, there are lots of screw ups from taking books to movies, just look at the Percy Jackson books. The movie sucked and completed changed characters motivations. I'd almost be worried about what they would change. Maybe it be something they would play on Logo.

Although, all of his friends in Nick and Norah are gay, and it's nice to see a movie where no one seems to think it's a big deal, especially set in a high school.
