Will Grayson, Will Grayson
BetsyP avatar reviewed on + 566 more book reviews


Contemporary teen fiction by John Green and David Levithan. Two teenage boys both named Will Grayson meet by accident or fate, in the most unlikely of places. Their chance meeting changes the outlook of both boys. Will Grayson #1 has the motto: don't care about anything, and don't speak about anything. The problem is that he has a larger than life bff, "Tiny" Cooper, who is gay, and very large. Will feels burdened by having a best friend who is open, happy and very alive.

will grayson, #2 isolates himself, and has secrets, regarding his sexuality and emotional state.

The common denominator is Tiny Cooper, who impacts everything and everyone he meets.

The book is pretty good. However, the ending had me scratching my head. It didn't feel like it was about Will Grayson and Will Grayson anymore.
