This is me, at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, after
John Green and David Levithan signed my copy. Needless to
say, I was ecstatic. It shows on my crazy face. YAAAAAAAAY.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson in the tradition of books like Good Omens, proves that co-authoring can be a beautiful, beautiful thing. Especially because the viewpoint switches allowed both authors to write in their distinctive styles without interrupting the flow of the story.
'Will Grayson, Will Grayson, for those of you who don't know, is about two high-school aged boys, each named Will Grayson, their lives, and the events that eventually bring them together.
It's heartwarming, hysterically funny, and touches upon topics some YA literature wouldn't dare go near, like homosexuality, depression, and relationships that aren't fixed by the end of the story. To me, Will Grayson, Will Grayson is about acceptance, dealing with imperfection, and battling the paralysis some people feel in High School.
If you enjoy gigantic people who are gay and gay people who are gigantic, musical numbers, snooty goths, mathletes, porn stores, and maybe tearing up just a little bit, I would definitely recommend this book, and everything else by John Green and David Levithan, who work fabulously together. I hope to see them writing together again.
