Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10
This is a novel about two teenage boys leading two different lives, that eventually collide unexpectedly. Coincidentally, both boys are named Will Grayson.
Will Grayson's life seems to revolve around two people: his best friend Tiny and the maybe-gay Jane. Tiny is nicknamed ironically; he's actually huge. And he's gay and shameless about it. He is the leader of the high school Gay-Straight Alliance, and is planning to put on his own play at the school, starring himself.
Jane, on the other hand, is down-to-earth, and Will suspects that she may be gay (she's a member of the GSA) but he develops a crush on her anyway.
[The other] Will Grayson's life revolves around one person, a boy he met online named Isaac. Isaac is Will's best friend and confidant, and Will swears he's in love with him. Isaac is what makes Will's life worth living. But when they decide to meet in person, Will is in for a life-changing surprise.
When both Will Graysons' lives collide, they affect each other in ways they'd not expected.
This book is hilarious (I laughed out loud reading it) and it's heartwarming. It's a story of finding oneself and building and maintaining important relationships in life, and for that, I recommend it to anyone.
