Are We There Yet?

Author(s): David Levithan

YA Fiction

Two brothers travel through Italy and take a journey of the heart. Sixteen-year-old Elijah is completely mellow and his 23-year-old brother Danny is completely not, and they can barely tolerate one another. So what better way to repair their broken relationship than to trick them into taking a trip to Italy together? Soon, though, their parents' perfect solution has become Danny and Elijah's nightmare as they're forced to spend countless hours together. But then Elijah meets Julia, and soon the brothers aren't together nearly as much. And then Julia meets Danny and soon all three of them are in a mixed-up, turned-around, never-what-you-expect world of brothers, Italy, and love.


Product Information

"Introspective, moving and honest, this book expresses many dimensions of journey and love." Publishers Weekly "Readers will identify with the brothers ! A lyrical, well-written story that shows the ties siblings feel whether they want to or not." Children's Literature "This novel is unique, fresh, and a pleasure to read." VOYA "[A] beautiful glimpse of fraternal love." School Library Journal Praise for BOY MEETS BOY "Gay fiction for the 'OC' generation. This is gay life, not as we know it, but as we wish it was when we were 15." Time Out "Levithan has created a scrumptious new sub-genre; teen literature where sexuality isn't treated as a problem and it isn't a coming out story. An immensely likeable read." Gay Times "Highly recommended for absolutely everyone." City, Sheffield "All amazing characters and so well described you'd love to meet them." Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle
