Fans of John Green and David Levithan's works will not be disappointed by their new collaboration, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, the story of two Chicago teens who share a name in common, but not much else.
However, when a chance encounter at a very unlikely (and extremely awkward) location brings the two Will Graysons together, their lives begin to intertwine and tangle, resulting in a story about love and friendship that is hilarious, touching and faaaabulous!
There's a lot to love about
WGWG. First of all, the book is incredibly funny and had me laughing out loud in public places. At the same time, though, I was swept away by the characters' inner lives, and I felt connected to the narrators, often flip-flopping over which WG I liked the best. I even grew to like Tiny Cooper, the larger-than-life (and flamboyantly gay) best friend of Green's Will Grayson. And did I mention there's a musical involved? For my part, I couldn't quite get on board with the ending, but it didn't take away too much from the overall effect of the book. (

P.S. Hey Nerdfighters! If you'd like to hear a much more articulate and handsome (what?) synopsis, here's co-author John Green himself in a video about
WGWG that he made for Amazon.com:
