Narrative Toward Books Wide Awake

I can't believe there's going to be a gay Jewish president.

As my mother said this, she looked at my father, who was still staring at the screen. They were shocked, barely comprehending.

Me? I sat there and beamed.

Everything seems to be going right in Duncan's life: The candidate he's been supporting for president has just won the election. Duncan's boyfriend, Jimmy, is with him to celebrate. Love and kindness appear to have won the day.

But all too quickly, things start to go wrong. The election is called into question... and Duncan and Jimmy's relationship is called into question, too. Suddenly Duncan has to decide what he's willing to risk for something he believes in... and how far he's willing to go to hold on to the people we hold dear.

Actual rating: 4.5 Stars This book was so fantastic. How do I describe it? Basically, imagine if Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump won the nominations for their parties, only Bernie was gay and instead of being mostly focused on Wall Street &c he was more idealistic and about all of us coming together as "great community." Then imagine he's elected president, but the opponent refuses to concede the election and instead tries a mass voter disenfranchisement tactic to try and make himself the

did i love the experience of reading this book? no not really. am i glad the story exists and does it feel alarmingly relevant currently? 1000% yes. ultimately i didnt love the story, but i loved the characters and the underlying themes.

This is a most interesting YA read.The U.S. has an elected a gay, Jewish president -- or so it seems until Kansas decides maybe the count is off. The group of 16-yr old teens who worked so hard on the campaign are devastated, just as the "Decents" who opposed the candidate are. The tag line of the book is "What are you willing to do for what you believe in?"Levithan is an excellent writer and may have missed his calling when he decided not to become a political speechwriter (the speeches by the

Reading the synopsis of Wide Awake, I found it difficult to see how David Levithan could pack religion, politics and sexuality into a book that's just over 200 pages long and make it meaningful. It's a minefield of hot topics that could have been awkward, preachy or uncomfortably controversial.But in true David Levithan style, he takes a story and completely ensnared me in the life of Duncan, his boyfriend Jimmy, his friends and a cast of characters caught up in the election of the first gay

David Levithan is one of my favorite ya contemporary authors. That said, this book was a miss. David Levithan's books are truly amazing (The Lover's Dictionary, Every Day,and The Realm of Possibility are all wonderful) but this book just fell lame for me. I thought I'd love this. As a Jewish gay (if we use the umbrella term gay for everyone who isn't straight), I thought this would resound with me. Yet I didn't feel it. In David Levithan's books, I normally feel like I get a real sense of who

I have never read a book, especially one written over a decade ago, that is so incredibly relevant to current events. I was floored with my love for this book. Absolute necessity. Read it IMMEDIATELY.

Reviewed by Christian C. for TeensReadToo.comDecades from today, the results of the election are out, and for the first time in the history of the United States, a gay, Jewish president, Abraham Stein, has been elected. After the Greater Depression, the War to End All Wars, the Reign of Fear, and the Jesus Revolution, the moment has arrived. Seventeen-year-old Duncan, who has spent the last few months working with his boyfriend, Jimmy, as a volunteer at the campaign headquarters, can finally
