Girl Meets Boy is a collection of short stories dealing with the topic of perception. Each story has a pair, one from the girl's point of view and one from the guy's. The plot of each story doesn't focus on one character being better than the other, and each one deals with a wide range of problems such as race separation, desperation, and smaller things like just a difference of height, all of which show what can bring two people together, or in some cases apart. The fact that each story was written by a different author also changes some aspects of the book. One such change is writing styles, since not every author writes exactly the same way. This allows you to get not just a different opinion and perception from each character but a whole different type of opinion too. Each character gives you a rundown of what happened and tells you what he or she thinks about it. The characters aren't necessarily explaining the same event, which makes it even more interesting to read and lets you know what happened as a result of whatever event the other character was explaining.
