Will Grayson, Will Grayson (Turtleback School & Library)
Will Grayson, Will Grayson (Turtleback School & Library) | John Green, David Levithan
One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, Will Grayson crosses paths with . . . Will Grayson. Two teens with the same name, running in two very different circles, suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, and culminating in epic turns-of-heart and the most fabulous musical ever to grace the high school stage. Told in alternating voices from two YA superstars, this collaborative novel features a double helping of the heart and humor that have won them both legions of fans.

Tiny should have been main character because he was the most interesting character. Otherwise characters were quite flat.

This wasn't really beautiful book: friend talked about and to their friends horrible and treated them terrible.

Some sentences made me laugh out loud and some made me ponder things - it's refreshing to see adults' problems from teen's view.

I can't believe it took me so long to read this! I wouldn't say this is the best work of either John Green or David Levithan, but still enjoyable. And it helped me knock off another #booked2022 prompt: #titlerepeatsitself

I don‘t think I have ever gotten a #BookSpinBingo with this much month left 🤩

I have to be honest I felt super conflicted with this book. I‘m not the kind of person who puts decimals in my ratings but this was honestly more of a 2.5 but I loved Tiny‘s musical so much I bumped it up to a 3. I would listen to that cast album. Also Holy fatphobia batman. Like beyond making a point. Full review here https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4115321635

This book came highly recommended. It was a quick and solid enough read, but didn‘t quite live up to the hype.

I feel myself slipping into a reading slump. 😬 I have two weeks until I'm student teaching full time, teaching ESL at the college 4 nights a week, and attending seminars at my uni. I think I feel the weight of what's coming up, and I know my reading time is going to be really limited which makes me feel like everything I read now has to be exceptionally great.

Sometimes YA pulls me out of slumps, but this one seems meh so far. 🤷‍♀️

Apparently, this book is already ten years old! No wonder the cellphone situation was different. Lol! My favorite thing about this book was the way it explains falling in love, and choosing to do so. And the relationship of friendship! 😍

I am, by nature, a deeply empathetic, highly sensitive human being, and I guess I am drawn to these type of stories... but that isn't to say that every sad book makes me cry.

These 3 definitely left an imprint on me and made me quite teary-eyed.

The book Will Grayson, Will Grayson was just published in my country and after reading many positive recommendations and of course reading other well written novels by the amazing John Green, I can't wait to start reading!

Will Grayson has two rules, not care and shut up. However, his gay best friend Tiny makes this impossible. When Will is left outside of a bar, he meets another Will Grayson, who just learned that his best friend tricked him into believing that she was Isaac, who he met online and fell in love with. After the two meet, their lives become intertwined by Tiny who decides to write a gay musical in his honor.

This book has a cute ending.

2. Skydiving. As much as I would love to do it again, there is a part when you are falling 13,000 feet where the person tied to you has to adjust the straps keeping us together and tethered to a parachute that makes me feel like I will come loose and crash down to the ground faster than a glass falling off a counter and I just can't do that again.

Another John Green book completed (my fourth) but still nothing still captures the magic of TFIOS. I know JG was not the only author, but since I have yet to read any of his other book, I do not have any basis of comparison for him.
This book started out good but by the end it kind of fizzled out. My sister asked me what the book was about when she saw me reading and I could only shrug and offer a vague it's about two guys with same name. (contd)

kiks 1. This book started out good but by the end, it kind of fizzled out. My sister asked me what the book was about when she saw me reading and I could only shrug and offer a vague it's about two guys with same name. This is bad since by then only two pages were left in the book. The book is almost over and that's the reason only thing I have to say about it. 5y
kiks 2. Yes you can say it has teen angst, and yeah the different kind of loves etc but not exactly a standout. This seemed a typical JG book with certain interesting parts with good heartfelt moments but parts only. Overall you can read it if you want a light quick mindless read but if you miss it, you are also not missing much. 5y

This book is amazing! Witty, quirky, and funny, but also emotional and raw. I was not expecting the ending at all, but it was great nonetheless.

So I have this habit where at a time, usually, there are 2 —3 books in my currently reading pile. Like I can't read one book only for too long. I need a side book, so to say. Does anybody else also have this habit?

My currently reading pile attached. Is it bad I am being tempted to add one more book to this? (This is of course excluding the manga I am also reading)

I picked this up from my classroom library and was intrigued for the first half, but I ended up feeling very ‘eh‘ about it by the end. The same thing happened when I read Looking for Alaska. For both books I really liked the characters at first, but by the end I was very indifferent 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m not sure John Green is the author for me.

Bookzombie I have only read The Fault In Our Stars and really liked it (as in I was a sobbing mess). I haven‘t been motivated to pick up his others though. 5y

Just finished this for my book club where I teach. I really enjoyed it! I avoided it for awhile because of the two authors , instead of just John Green, but the two authors' styles really complimented each other. #teachersoflitsy ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

From the way my friends talk about this book, I figured it'd be EVERYTHING. And I mean, I did like it, but it didn't knock my socks off the way I expected it to. It's an uneven mix of authentic emotion and the sort of Teen Issues that put me off YA when I was a teenager and still don't resonate with me today.

But hey, it's worth reading and Tiny Cooper's pretty great.

I had a fancier-than-usual Tuesday breakfast so I could use up some groceries. The yolk broke when I cracked the egg and the tomato tasted like water, but the bacon and the coffee were good.

The book, now... I was on the verge of abandoning it because it's sooooooo Teen Issues, but I've hit the point where the Will Graysons meet and I think I'm finally hooked. We'll see how it goes.

“After class, I‘m staring into my locker, wondering how I managed to leave The Scarlet Letter at home, when Tiny comes up with his Gay-Straight #Alliance friends Gary (who is gay) and Jane (who may or may not be—I‘ve never asked), and Tiny says to me, “Apparently, everyone thinks I professed my love for you in precalc. Me in love with Will Grayson. Isn‘t that the silliest crap you ever heard?”

A nice, light read! It teaches some touching lessons about family and friends, as well as our relationship with ourselves. In general, it was just incredibly funny and laced with jokes that are borderline offensive but instead have you in peals of laughter.

Reading the discussion at the end was interesting. I love how you can distinguish which POV you're in by the use of lowercase. The musical sample at the end was hilarious too!

DNF. This was absolutely awful for me. Fat shaming from page one (literally), gross objectification of a female character, an incredible trope-y portrayal of a gay teen... there‘s just a lot to unpack here, plus I hated the humor, and everything about this reminded me of why I‘ve sworn off David Levithan and John Green (besides TFIOS). 😔 I wish I could‘ve loved this like so many of my friends did!

Wow, I loved this book. The authors are awesome to begin with and the combination of the two made for an excellent book. I loved the characters and the message. It‘s about relationships, no matter what type and how to treat them with respect and appreciation. Such a great audiobook performance as well!!
