Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan

4.0

Wonderful to read a book that focuses on boy-girl friendship, rather than boy-girl romance (although there's some of that here, too, as well as boy-boy romance). I was really moved by the depiction of the relationship between Naomi and Ely; although both characters were unappealing in many ways (self-absorbed NYC-ishness), their love for each other, and the pain they feel when they're finally forced to give up the illusions they've been holding about each other, is convincingly portrayed.
