Will Grayson, Will Grayson Review

Hahas, so enough Levithan for now and back to Green! (Hell, please note this is only because I can't seem to get my hands on his books in the library. I still love you Levithan.)

So Will Grayson, Will Grayson, quick summary to the characters..

Straight Will Grayson — So this is Will Grayson number 1, the first you meet. Upon entering the first chapter, you realise this guy, like all of Green's other characters, is a reject. His only friend is Tiny Cooper. He has two rules in life: "1. Don't care too much" and "2. Shut up". He's one who believes in removing himself from situations so no one gets hurt. But obviously that don't go too well.

Tiny Cooper — Okay, so Tiny Cooper is Will Grayson 1's best bud. He's tall for a Tiny. He's writing a musical about his life, which is actually what the book revolves around. He's a real feeler. So much bottled up emotion in such a big guy. Spoiler: He falls in love with the Other Will Grayson. Which sucks because Tiny Cooper is (Straight) Will's best and only friend.

The Other Will Grayson (AKA The Gay Will Grayson) — This Will Grayson is portrayed by Levithan (woohoo), and this teen is in the process of recovering from depression (boohoo). He meets this guy online called Issac and man, Issac is so cool. Unfortunately, OWG finds out Issac is actually his girlfriend with a fake persona (more boohoo).

Shit happens, and the two one day cross paths (in a porn store) because straight will grayson is buying an *AHEM* magazine and the other will grayson is looking for the non-existent Issac. Things happen and OWG meets Tiny. Bam! They fall in love, OWG admits he's gay for the first time, they break up on a swing, straight Will Grayson falls in love with Jane, Tiny rewrites the musical, the musical, wonderful ending...

I really loved this quote in there though by (straight) Will Grayson. It says: "I'm not even his favourite Will Grayson anymore." I think it's so sad. Really.

And I also like the one LEVITHAN wrote for OWG. It reads:

Both ways, I think the book was a beautiful blend of writing styles (though we all know Levithan was secretly better). But I really like how the book emphasized, maybe you don't need to be in love to love someone. Friendship is a kind of love.

It's the most beautiful kind I know.
