if you love a bit of romance, teens figuring life out, and are a sucker for musicals. this one is for you. never have I ever been a very eager person for YA romance, but this— this tops it all. the musical references, tiny cooper and his big problems, will grayson, will grayson; it's beautiful. and the ending is SO perfect. tiny cooper and his amazing musical about love. this is beautiful and I've never laughed so much and loved the characters in a book since rick riordan. it doesn't have big words. it isn't too serious. but it's beautiful, amazing, perfect. also, I love the way David Levithan shows the mind of a teen who has been diagnosed with depression and is dealing with it, because the world doesn't stop turning. and I love the way their paths cross. this will make THE perfect movie adaptation too, honestly. it reads like a movie, too. and I can't stress this enough— this is perfect. it brings under the scanner a lot of topics— that one's sexuality is really nobody's business, that red bull helps, that platonic love is beautiful, that sometimes all you need to be is a bit borderline brave and absolutely crazy and that love is all about try-error-try-error-try-error-it.
