Ce roman touche vraiment les sujets sensibles des jeunes adolescents, l'homosexualité, l'amour, la popularité mais aussi l'amitié et la vie familiale. J'ai beaucoup aimé cette lecture à 4 mains avec ses deux points de vue, ces deux histoires qui vont finir par se mêler. On nous parle de sujet difficiles avec simplicité et réalisme. Les sentiments sont vrais, les émotions sincères. J'ai vraiment été plongé dans cette histoire, j'ai ressentis chaque émotions que les personnage ont pu ressentir. J'ai eu beaucoup de mal à quitter ce livre même une seconde. Encore un grand bravo et merci à ces deux auteurs qui auront su me faire vivre de belles histoires et me faire grandir avec ses personnages qui sont toujours très atypiques.
God, I love reading a John Green book for the first time. And David Levithan added so much too.
This made me feel so many things. The heartache of new love, and of finding that the person you thought wasn't who you thought. The pain and pleasure of vulnerability. The courage of vulnerability. How much being yourself is required to let others be themselves. How wrapped up our emotions and relationships all are, and how scary and beautiful it is to let them breathe.
How friendship is a deep kind of love and how crazy it is that there isn't a roadmap, like Tiny says.
How you can hurt someone you love, and they can hurt you, and Knowing someone deeply allows that hurt, but also the floating of being seen and loved and held.
Seriously, so many emotions. I loved this book.

Such a wonderfully written novel about 2 will graysons meeting each other and becoming involved in each others lives so unexpectedly but impacting each other greatly about opening up and accepting things and learning to love.
I argued with myself over and over weather or not to give this book two stars or three, I really wish that goodreads had a half star feature because that is exactly what I would give this book. I had really high expectations of this book because I am not going to lie, I am definitely a John Green fan-girl but this book just didn't hit the right spot for me.
And I can't forget to mention the very different writing styles of the two authors that threw me off completely for most of the book. I just can't stand it when a author does not capitalize things.
Sure the book had it high points, it's cute parts and even parts that I found a bit touching but most of it, I had to force myself to get through. More over, the second Will Grayson's chapters, I just couldn't stand him he was annoying, whiney, and as much as I hate using the word cliche.
The way he saw the world just ended up making me scoff half the time.
Here is an example: "i do not say 'good-bye'. i believe that's one of the bullshittiest words ever invented. it's not like you're given the choice to say 'bad-bye' or 'couldn't-careless-about-you-bye'. every time you leave, it's supposed to be a good one. well, i don't believe in that. i believe against that."
really? really?!...
I am sorry David Levithan, but you just couldn't do it for me.
Though to be fair, John didn't really either this time.
I just couldn't stand the central character, Tiny, either. He was so selfish, self-centered, unlikable. I couldn't understand why anyone in the book could like him. Yes, I realize it is fictional but still... I think it was a bad idea to central the whole book around him. Even if the ending was touching, I only found it touching though because of the metamorphosis that the Will Grayson's seemed to go through.
I feel bad, because I feel like I am completely bashing the book.
Which I hardly ever do, I just had some high hopes and was very much let down. Some parts were good, the romance between Will Grayson 1 and Jane was sweet, I liked her character and how she carried herself. I also really enjoyed how the relationship between Will Grayson 2 and his mother progressed over the time period of the book, it was heartfelt and I loved it. Those are what kept me reading past all the bad.
I am sure it is a good book, well written in most parts, but for some reason... this time, it just didn't rub me the right way.

I wanted to rate this one higher, but it lost a full star and a half over Tiny's musical. Who would want to go see this dumb thing? That being said, I loved John Green's Will and liked David Levithan's. If I could just rate it on John Green's writing, it would be a 5 star book. I did find it very funny and laughed out loud at several parts. Overall, I just couldn't stand Tiny and that is why I couldn't rate it higher.

Aquí tengo mi segunda lectura de John Green que definitivamente NO ME GUSTO. Pensé que este libro iba a superar las expectativas. Pero no fue así, creo que tenia las expectativas tan elevadas que cada vez que pasaba un capitulo, no me conformaba con lo que sucedía, y así paso hasta llegar al final del libro. Esta a punto de tirarlo pero soy de esos típicos lectores que si agarra un libro, lee unas 2 paginas no puede dejar de leerlo y empezar otro. Este libro me decepciono por muchas cosas, los diálogos que tenían algunos personajes eran DEMASIADO forzados. Hubo un momento del libro donde pensé que todo iba a cambiar y me iba a gustar, pero siempre me llevo a lo mismo, otra vez a bajar las expectativas. El libro es para pasar el rato, como ver una serie que no conoces... Es como para una merienda. Y no me gusto siendo sincero. NO ME GUSTO. Una estrella John Green, please ya van 1 con este 2 libros que me has decepcionado, espero que los otros que estoy a punto de leer me vayan a decepcionar también.
I love this book when I met the second Will Grayson, I love his attitude and character, the other Will Grayson is okay but I love the way this book was written and it got me in my feels and many good plot twists
