Title: Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Authors: John Green and David Levithan
Quick Synopsis: (taken from the book)
It's not that far from Evanston to Naperville, but Chicago suburbanites Will Grayson and Will Grayson might as well live on different planets. When fate delivers them both to the same surprising crossroads, the Will Graysons find their lives overlapping and hurtling in new and unexpected directions. With a push from friends new and old--including the massive, and massively fabulous, Tiny Cooper, offensive lineman and musical theater auteur extraordinaire--Will and Will begin building toward respective romantic turns-of-heart and the epic production of history's most awesome high school musical.
Reflection: Not the type of book I usually read, but a good one nonetheless. Honestly, I wasn't sure whether or not I would like this one, but David Levithan and John Green are excellent authors, and I can definitively say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a quick read, and definitely worth the time I invested in it. The characters are fantastic, flawed and yet loveable, and the plot, while being completely realistic and thus a little boring for me, is still a refreshing difference from what I usually read. The ending was my favourite part; it was so sweet and touching.
