(3) YA Levithan writes about gay, lesbian, and straight couples in this collection of eighteen stories about love. From Ian's college interview with his closeted boyfriend's father to the girl whose mom thinks "all lesbians talked like Hillary Clinton and looked like Bill," each meticulously worded story conveys both weary cynicism and the romantic yearning of love intensified by the uncertainties of young adulthood.
