Ending was a bit anticlimactic but the representation was pretty okay
I adored Tiny Cooper.
I agree, he would be so horrible to have as a friend, most of the time not being able to look past his own self, but as a character he is wonderful. Flamboyant and dramatic, he was really fun to read.
Relating more with Will 1, I especially enjoyed his and Tiny's relationship, as I could see me in the same situation regarding friendship feelings. The way he did not want to open himself to Jane was pretty good, too.
As for Will 2, his vision of life was, well, certainly interesting, and even more with the complete lack of capitalization. Cynical indeed. He made me sad with Isaac and the way Maura acted and the way he certainly didn't open up to Tiny. However, it did make me really happy how at the end he found his pace.
The best, and most heartwarming part was the ending, for sure. It's adorable.

I can enjoy a trashy rom com etc., but this was just cringe.
I'm rereading John Green's books this year to see if I still love them like I did back in high school when I would read them over and over again. Do I think Will Grayson Will Grayson holds up? Not really I think there are plot points/character traits that are not great/problematic, it still holds a place in my heart but I think there are way better LGBTQ+ books nowadays that also don't make the one fat character being "so huge" a major plot point

I liked this book but didn't quite think it lived up to all the hype. I didn't really connect to the second WG, it must've been my love for Tiny Cooper that made me enjoy the book so much.
