Lindsey’s comments from the S.S. Rebel Alliance (Silent Sustained Reading Discussions) group.

In "Let It Snow", so far two of the three stories that intertwine have had romance themes as well as a coming of age theme. In the first story, although Jubilee has a boyfriend, she can't help but have a strange attraction to Stuart, who she ends up falling for and spending Christmas with in the small mountain community known as Gracetown, NC. In the other story, so far, Tobin, JD and the Duke have all decided to go down to the Waffle House on Christmas Eve to meet up with their friend Keun who works there and is surrounded by cheerleaders. The Duke, whose real name is Angie, has been treated like "one of the guys" all of her life and she is fed up with it. Tobin slowly begins to realize that he is attracted to the Duke and she feels the same about him.

At this point in my book, Will Grayson (1) is having trouble trying to communicate with Jane as far as starting a relationship considering that she is already in one. Will Grayson (2) has developed a relationship with Will Grayson (1)'s best friend Tiny. Grayson (1) is having trouble keeping his friendship with Tiny since Tiny is spending most of his free time texting and talking with Grayson (2). This also comes up when Tiny is directing, writing, casting and producing his own musical about himself which is starting to effect Grayson (1). Grayson (2) has come out as gay and will not speak to ex-friend Maura since she "catfished" him by posing to be a guy online who found interest in Grayson (2).

Both Will Graysons have trouble fitting in due to the fact that one Will Grayson(1) has a friend who is gay and the other Will Grayson(2) is gay. Both of them want to be treated like adults and not have to be embarrassed for who they are even if they are considered different by others. They both experience loneliness, rejection and hurt in different ways. Will Grayson(1) is abandoned by his friends while they go to a concert and the other Will Grayson(2) is supposed to meet his online friend but ends up being abandoned as well. This is where the two meet and things are starting to pick up.

So far, Will Grayson has been trying to find his place in his high school and who he should associate himself with as far as friends. He has an embarrassing friend named Tiny and a few more. Everyone likes Will, he's just not sure who he likes as far as friends and a new potential spark named Jane.
