Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan

Here's a quick bit from the goodreads page for this book:  One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens—both named Will Grayson—are about to cross paths. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, building toward romantic turns-of-heart and the epic production of history’s most fabulous high school musical.

Hilarious, poignant, and deeply insightful, John Green and David Levithan’s collaborative novel is brimming with a double helping of the heart and humor that have won both them legions of faithful fans.

My Take

This has to be one of the most amazing, funny, and heartwarming books I've ever read.  The character development in this is stunning.  I felt as though I knew both Will Grayson's and Tiny.  It was obvious when another character was writing that chapter because they were all so distinct. 

I can't even count the number of times that I laughed while reading this book.  It was hugely funny and made me want to read it again and again.  I love Tiny Cooper!  I love his confidence.  I love that instead of changing himself to conform to everyone else's idea of "normal", Tiny challenges their conventional ideas.  He's on a one-man mission to spread love and help others understand that love is the most common miracle.

I can't recommend this book enough.  So funny, so touching, so fabulous!  Go read it right away.  Tell me how you like it once you do.  I give this one four fabulous over the top kisses!
