Review
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
John Green
Try, Fail, try fail, try, it. That’s what we all do, right? We try and we fail until we find it. Laundry, relationships, cooking etc. etc. But for Will Grayson there was no try, fail, it. There were only two rules, don’t care too much and shut up. That is those were the rules until Tiny, his fabulously gay friend, stirs Will Grayson’s life up, and causes him to forget his rules. However, Will Grayson’s life isn’t the only one that is about to be put on “blend”. The other Will Grayson, highly depressed often satiric gay Will Grayson, is soon to have his share of liquefying events, when the two of them meet.
This book captures remarkable aspects of both being a straight teenager, something I have never been, and coming to terms with your sexuality, something I did a long time ago. It explores the rocky hills of teenage love affairs and the trips, tumbles, and falls of growing into ourselves. If you’re eager for some sharp wit, mixed with coming of age and self-discovery, pull up a seat and crack open John Green and David Levithan’s Will Grayson Will Grayson. ~ Nathan Wiberg
