After reading two books from David Levithan, I finished a third book and the second one that is a collaboration with another author, namely John Green.
The story is about two boys named Will Grayson who lives in two separate lives until one night came and they both cross paths. The story is told in alternating POV between the two Wills and distinguished by the writers by one of them is always capitalized while the other one is always typed in small letters.
Both of them studying in two different schools and have different circle of friends but their problems both relate in dealing with relationships.
Will Grayson is good friends with Tiny, a gay friend who is producing a school play/musical and Jane whom he develops a crush on. The other will grayson, experiences a betrayal from one of her female friends after finding out she has been disguising herself as a guy in an online forum that will likes.
Certain circumstances in their lives cause them to meet each other where will meets Tiny which leads them to have a relationship with each other. It's will's first romantic relationship while it's Tiny's nth after will's late decision to come out in public.
In the journey towards Tiny's play, we see the two Will Graysons to have some realizations with their lives and cause some problems with their relationships.
The story is nice but I was just disappointed by the fact that the story did not focus on the two Will Graysons and more on their relationship with others.
I actually saw this book yesterday on National bookstore and was surprised to see it since I haven't seen any of the author's books anywhere.
The book also led me to download other books by John Green. However, I have finally started on The Mark of Athena today and I'm really liking it so far which means it might take some time for me before reading another book from Levithan or start a new one by Green.
