Two teens, both named Will Grayson, meet in a porn store. One’s a loner and one has a big gay best friend named Tiny. What could possibly happen?

Will Grayson, Will Grayson is the first collaborative effort from John Green and David Levithan. It is a humorous story about finding yourself and finding love.

This is going to get me some hate mail, but, neither author is among my favorites. But I can say I’m glad to see John Green has ventured away from his same story line of geek boy seeking the mysterious girl, though I thought his Will Grayson was much less dynamic and interesting than Levithan’s. But his Tiny? Hilarious. I didn’t know he had that in him and I’m glad he let him out.

WG, WG will appeal to fans of either author, though it will certainly not be a great starter book for those who haven’t read either Green or Levithan. The book’s appeal with be with those who like humor and those looking for something totally different for their reading palate. I don’t like stereotyping people, but I think big-time theater geeks who proudly label themselves as such will get a real kick out of this book.

This will not appeal to readers who don’t like reading the, well, ridiculous. Both Wills are developed characters, as are the ancillary characters, but the story itself is something out of this world. Be prepared for overuse of particular expletives and for very frank discussion of sexual acts (within a context of teenage humor!).

Just remember: you never know what can happen when you meet someone with your same name and you never know how that can impact your best friend or your love interest.
