Disclaimer -- I LOVE THIS MAN!! Every book I've read of Levithan has touched my heart. This collection of short stories began, he says, as a way to avoid an AP physics lesson. That story, "A Romantic Inclination," is so funny.

I found some of these stories pointless, one or two boring, but all in all I was glad I read this book. My favorite stories were "Starbucks Boy," "The Number of People who Meet on Airplanes," "Flirting with Waiters," and I thought "Princes" was good. My absolute favorite story was "The Alumni Interview," it was the funniest and the most touching story in the entire book. The other stories were okay, but if you were reading this book you would have to read those five stories, they were what stood

Eighteen sweet confections that the author prefers to call ‘stories about love.’ I particularly liked the stories “Starbucks Boy” about a teenager babysitting in New York City for a tot in his aunt’s building, and falls in love with a barista at Starbucks. In “The Alumni Interview” Ian has in interview with his closeted boyfriend’s father. About “A Romantic Inclination” Levithan tells us in the introduction this was his first story, written during Physics class when he was a junior in high schoo
