A most interesting read indeed. One would think that this novel is about Will Grayson but Will Grayson and Will Grayson (yes, there are two of them) are only the narrators of this story. The real hero is Tiny Cooper, a huge man who is gay and who believes in people, love and helping others. At times I was confused as one Will Grayson or the other narrates their part of the story but it all comes together when Tiny stages his musical which is his story. The authors capture the teenage angst that plagues high schoolers when everything that happens to them seems personal and often, the end of their world, rather than part of growing up. Read this one carefully - the messages are compelling and full of hope.
