Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Levithan, John Green
3.0
This is not the deepest and most thought-provoking book ever... but I enjoyed it! I liked lower case will grayson and prefered the author's style on his chapters: a bit more raw. For the Will Grayson part by John Green I was a little disappointed to see that he reused most of the quirky witty teen traits that are present in practically all his books. But I have to say I liked Tiny Cooper's character. I think he is central to the book really, maybe his name should have been the title instead.
I appreciated that the story focused also on gay teens and how they come to terms with who they are, I think representation, in YA fiction especially, is very important. Though this wasn't super realistic either... I wish the real world was a tolerant as book world, because I'm pretty sure in real world noone would cheer for an obese gay teen putting on a musical about himself. But hey, this was a quick but nice read, and very funny in some parts, I recommend.
