"You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose" 

-Will Grayson

That was one of the opening sentences of Will Grayson, Will Grayson which was written by John Green and David Levithan. John Green is known for writing bestselling novels such as The Fault in Our Stars, The Abundance of Katherine, Looking for Alaska and many more. David Levithan, on the other hand, has his fair share of bestselling books. He was the great mind behind Every Day, Are We There Yet, Marly's Ghost and a lot more.



It is pretty obvious that both Green and Levithan are both excellent writers and it is such a great blessing that they decided to co-wrote Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Green wrote the even chapters while Levithan wrote the odd chapters. At first, I don't know what to expect of the book, I just know that the book is great since it is written by two of my favorite writers and they did not definitely disappoint.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a comedy, a musical,

 

a love story and somehow, a drama and a tragedy. The story circulates around two boys who have the same name, Will Grayson and they are both the same and different. Both of them are wallflowers. They simply walk by unnoticed and it is not they had been rejected by the society or something but they simply chose to be like that and as the story unfolds, it shows how the two Will Graysons grew up emotionally. Both of them are also caught up in a weird love story. Will Grayson 1 is in love with a girl, Jane, but he can't admit it not just to others but even to himself. Will Grayson 2 is also head over heels with a guy that he met online even though he hasn't talked to him face to face yet.

Despite their similarities, Will Grayson 1 and Will Grayson 2 are a hell lot different. Will Grayson 1 is straight and Will Grayson 2 is gay. This is one of the issues that the book talks about. It shows how straight persons and gay people fall in love almost the same way. The book definitely achieved to talk about this issue in a very light manner. It didn't talk about the downs of a gay relationship and all of the drama involved around it, it focuses on how the relationship grew and how the partners grew.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson also focuses on depression. Again, it does not focus on the obvious, it focuses on a person trying to cope and live with depression. Will Grayson 2 deals with depression after losing his father and being stocked with his mother. The story did not end with Will Grayson 2 overcoming depression completely. It actually presents how Will Grayson was able to finally go out of his shell and live his life. Truth is, both Will Grayson 1 and Will Grayson 2 was able to break out of their shell and embrace their uniqueness.


That's the good thing about Will Grayson, Will Grayson. It was able to talk about certain issues in a light manner. You will not see yourself balling your eyes out but be prepared to laugh and have a good time reading it. Reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson will put you in a roller coaster ride where you will not scream but you will definitely laugh. The only criticism I have is about its ending. Will Grayson 1 finally have the girl of his dreams but it was not specified whether Will Grayson 2 and his special someone ended up together. That's the only thing I can complain about so if you're not dumb, grab your copy of Will Grayson, Will Grayson and have an awesome time reading it!
