In the past, I have read alternating chapter books and found it very difficult to follow the flow of the book, but this story is never hard to follow. It is very impressive that both authors were able to maintain the integrity of the character of Tiny Cooper.

Each author gets a chance to write for Tiny Cooper when he becomes an integral part of both Will Grayson’s lives. The story flows seamlessly from one chapter to the next. John Green writes the chapters involving the straight Will Grayson, while David Levithan handles the chapters with the gay will grayson. Will Grayson, Will Grayson is written in alternating chapters.

It is a typical high school novel with very non-typical characters. The novel follows the group as they work through relationship problems, both romantic and platonic. After they cross paths in a porn shop on an ill-fated trip to Chicago, they maintain contact through Will Grayson’s best friend, Tiny Cooper, an openly gay football player who is described as”the world’s largest person who is really, really gay.” Both are somewhat socially awkward with will grayson leaning towards clinical depression. One Will Grayson is straight and one will grayson is gay. Will Grayson, Will Grayson, a much anticipated YA novel by two well respected novelists, is about two teenagers that share the same name and live in two different suburbs of Chicago.
