Will Grayson, Will Grayson alternates between the perspective of a couple of teenagers from different towns and schools, but with the same name. They meet when the two boys are going through semi crises in their own lives. However, their meeting is actually pretty comical. Each of the Will Graysons have their own distinct voice and personality. One is gay, the other straight. Although I was under the impression they both were through most of the book. I kept waiting for the other Will Grayson to

Funny, poignant, insightful and smartly written story about some Chicago suburban teens and their quest for understanding, appreciation and relationships.
As Aly told me before I read it, "Everyone deserves their own Tiny Cooper."
And it's entirely true. And, though my name is not Will Grayson, I would totally stand up for Tiny Cooper, too. I think you should read this book simply because it is clever and lovely, and to two points of view are entirely different, and the whole point of it does not rest solely in either Will or Tiny, but in the world, and in love, and in *trying* your hardest no matter what.

HOLD ME CLOSER, TINY COOPER.
Two teenage Will Graysons live in and around Chicago and end up randomly meeting in a porn shop downtown after a series of comedic misunderstandings. There are romances (both gay and straight), difficulties with friendships, struggles with school and fitting in, some pretty cool parents and one gigantic fabulous musical. This book was funny and I liked the multiple narrators (both Wills), but lacked any connection at the end. Strong language.
Hilarious, brilliant, and simply entertaining. A rare LGBT book for YA. My first experience reading both John Green and David Leviathan's book. And it's an awesome adventure, as long as you keep your mind open =)

The fat jokes got old, but the writing was otherwise witty and the book reads fast.
