What I found most interesting about this article is when Levithan discusses how he is upfront with his titles and covers of his books. On the cover of Two Boys Kissing, it openly depicts two boys kissing. I think that this needs to happen more often. For one, the title of the book is going against the norm of what you usually see in LGBT literature. It tells you who and what the book is mainly focusing on.

I also notice how most of his books include a LGBT character. In Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, the main characters bandmates were gay. More and more books are appearing like this. It does seem like books that focus on these type of characters have a more sad tone. Levithans other book Boy Meets Boy is quite the opposite. The story is more joyful and uplifting.
