I LOVE David Levithan and he has done something amazing with this book. 20 different narrators writing in verse and prose. Truly spectacular. This was a 24 hour read for me, and there are all these little tidbits from the novel that make me think so much about love and the nature of human relationships. Also, I found myself relating to a lot of these characters. And in a lot of ways, I fell in love with them because I saw myself reflected in them. 

Same fears, same loves, same thirst for the unknown. 

Loved this book! One of my faves.

so beautiful!! bookending with david and jed was brilliant i love them so much. okay, confirmed, david levithan remains one of my favourite authors.

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; two boys pondering their first anniversary; and a girl who writes love songs for a girl she can’t have. These are just a few of the captivating characters readers will get to know in this intensely heartfelt new novel about those ever changing moments of love and heartbreak that go hand-in-hand with high school. David Levithan plumbs the depths of teenage emotion to create an amazing array of voices. So, enter their intricately interconnected lives and prepare to welcome the realm of possibility open to us all.

This was okay. I got lost as to who was who but the individual chapters had some nice moment.

Twenty voices, twenty views, one story.

'The Realm of Possibility' is something that you pick up with the intent of 'no plot, just vibes' and it's pretty spot on. You read not for some new quest or some revelation of heroes but to hear out twenty kids who are trying to figure themselves out.

It's an interesting choice to have their POVs written in different styles of poetry, which gives the readers a view into what their individual personalities are without having to actually spell it out for them. I did have difficulty keeping track of who's who, as I'm pretty bad with names and you're the one who has to figure out who the current voice is talking about.
