The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan


This is a really nice book, though some parts are kind of confusing I recommend it to a lot of you. I don't recommend it to young children, some of the content is a little edgy, but if you enjoy poetry, love, and David Levithan books this is the book for you! Here is a summary taken off of the jacket flap:

Here's what I know about the realm of possibility- it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world's devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.

Enter The Realm of Possibility and meet a boy whose girlfriend is in love with Holden Caulfield; a girl who loves the boy who wears all black; a boy with the perfect body; and a girl who writes love songs for a girl she can't have.

It took me a long time to read this book, but I'm glad I did. David Levithan is a brilliant author and he really understands some teenagers lives. In this book, almost all of the poems are written by different people, so to me, I didn't really get to know the characters well, but through their poetry you get to know the part of them that they might not want other people to know. I fell in love with this story when I started reading it, and I hope you do to.
