I liked about half of this story its told from two perspectives and I only liked one so half was just waiting to get back to the part I liked. I loved the representation and good characters though
This audiobook was incredible. The characters were already strong but the people who read this book on the audiotape brought them to life in a way that I could never have imagined. They even sang the songs for Tiny's musical throughout the story. I would highly recommend listening to this book. In fact, since it's still in my car, I may just listen to it again!
I'm actually a bit out of breath right now.
Look, the thing about John Green's characters is that they are all so WEIRD.
They are weird.
But I think they are also really real.
There was a point for every character in this book where I felt angry at them because how can you be so stupid? But after a while you begin to see yourself and every other person around you. Because humans can be shitty and self absorbed, but also raw. And that's what this was. Raw.

Another Levithan winner! Loved this book. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is the ending. I understand what Will Grayson was trying to do with he show of support (trying not to give spoilers) but I feel like that - by trying to keep the secret from the reader until the end - we lost a little bit of his thought process behind it. I could have used a bit more explanation from him. I thought it was sweet and supportive, but the actual move was a bit confusing.
To listen to! Author himself says the audiobook is better than the book!!!
Ok, 4.5 so I rounded up because the audio was amazing. Sweet for high schoolers about love, coming out, and accepting oneself.

Hmmm...What to say about "Will Grayson, Will Grayson"? I gave this book five stars, not because it was a life-changing, deeply moving book, but because it was an incredibly fun book that made me want to become friends with Tiny and Will Grayson and Will Grayson and Jane. I'll admit, it made me a bit nostalgic for high school (which was very long ago for me), but in a great way. A smart, funny and fairly realistic book (as far as the emotions of high school go) - one minute I was laughing out loud, the next I was relating to Will Grayson's self-loathing. I would highly recommend this YA read to both young adults AND old adults!
3.5 ⭐
while captivating, unlike tfios, Alaska or papertown, nothing really happens.

I don't have much to say. I loved the book. and I love when authors can and know how to put in words the things I feel.
