So when I began the story, I found Green’s Grayson (GWG, he’s the straight one) to be the more likeable of the two, cos he’s got the indie nerd sensibilities and self-deprecating sense of humor found in all of Green’s protagonists. There’s a lot of reasons why this book is my favorite from both John Green and David Levithan, but I would say the main one is the way the authors utilize both the complimentary and contradictory elements of their styles to build complex, extremely authentic characters. Through a series of random events, our two Will Graysons finally meet, and since David Levithan and John Green wrote this story, it should come as no surprise to you that what follows is totally and absolutely fantastic.
While these two Wills may seem kinda different, they actually have a lot in common, such as: Will Grayson is also a secretly gay, extremely depressed dude who spends most of his time chatting with his internet boyfriend.
Um ANYWAY! So, Will Grayson is an indie music nerd determined to avoid as many social and emotional commitments as possible. Have you ever Googled your own name and then totally judged the other yous for being impostors and then you start to wonder if friends from junior high will automatically assume that one of THOSE people is you and then for the rest of their lives, they’ll think you ended up in a Florida with five kids and a fondness for animated gifs? Or am I the only one who still cares what people from 6th grade think of me? Bonus Factors: Neutral Milk Hotel, Keith Mars Award, Tiny Cooper, High School Musical
