within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits
are of our own world’s devising. And yet,
every day we each do so many things
that were once impossible to us.”
– The Realm of Possibility, David Levithan
My sister introduced me to this touching novel when I was in college. The book covers the lives of high schoolers who grapple with various life situations. The author presents each character’s story in the form of a poem. The illustration above portrays the novel’s titular poem, that centers around a gay couple, Daniel and Jed, who are celebrating their 1st year anniversary and reflect how they beat the odds by staying together.
It’s a very poignant and inspiring book. (Easy read too!) I highly recommend it.
