Feel good, gay teen book written by two authors about two characters named Will Grayson, in alternating chapters. The differences in the two writers' styles are slightly distracting, and there's an element of over-simplification that can often enter feel good titles, but the book is hilarious, unabashedly moving, and a nice look at the variety of personalities embodying high school life today.

The second Will Grayson really annoyed me (probably the lack of ponctuation) but I liked the first one (huge fan of anything by John Green DFTBA! :) ) and the ending was really cute. Both Wills seamed very real. Schrodinger's cat references and the musical and Will's texts and online conversations make it complete.

Another great John Green novel (and David Levithan!). Equal parts hilarious and touching. A great book for gay teens, but really, anyone with a sense of humour will enjoy it!

Absolutely one of my favorite YA novels of all time. It's warm and endearing and you almost want to stand up and cheer at the end. Perfect for current and future fans of John Green and David Levithan.

Witty. Smart. Fabulous. This book is awesome. One of the best I've read in awhile. I'm not sure what I like most about it- the snappy dialogue, the jump off the page they appear so real characters, the Marvelously gay musical at the end. I love it and would recommend it to anyone with an open mind.

This book is incredible!!! By far one of my favourite books of all time, after Rough Music by Patrick Gale. What I really love is the originality of the format of the book. And the characters...! I know some people are saying they aren't likable, but the point is that if you can relate to them like I could, this book will take your breath away.

I really enjoyed this book! The first writing style was easy to enjoy, while the second writing style, well, it took some getting used to. It's worth it though, and I thought the book was amazing! (Plus it's set in Chicago and that's pretty cool)

I loved the plot (I wish I could meet someone with my name!) and idea, but not really the execution. I thought this book was a little boring, although the ending was very entertaining. I'd say the best part of this novel was that it introduced me to the great band Neutral Milk Hotel.

Friendships and relationships can be hard. Will Grayson knows this first hand and he’s about to meet someone else who also understands: the other Will Grayson. When the two teens meet and discover they not only share the same name but similar insecurities and uncertainties, it sparks a catalyst of change that teaches them who is important to them and why. Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a funny and touching book that is simple in plot but rich in character development. Friendship and relationship struggles are tackled with fast-paced dialogue, honesty, and a little help from a larger-than-life and truly delightful supporting character, Tiny Cooper. As Will Grayson and Will Grayson start to figure out who they are, their stories become a celebration of familial, platonic, romantic, gay and straight love.

Coarse Language: Does contain a few mentions of the f-bomb, but nothing that a teen can't handle (I'd just be wary of using it in book clubs).

p 144 tiny doesn't just sing these words - he belts them. it's like a parade coing out of his mouth. i have no doubt the words travel over lake michigan to most of canada and on to the north pole. the farmers of saskatchewan are crying. santa is turning to mrs. claus and saying 'what the fuck is that?'

People act like it`s the most important thing humans do, but come on. How can our sentient fucking lives revolve around something slugs can do. -straight Will Grayson

But with friendship, there`s nothing like that. Being in a relationship, that`s something you chose. Being friends that`s just just something you are. -straight Will Grayson
