It kept getting better, I was sorry that it had to end

It kept getting better, I was sorry that it had to end
A really great story, fun, entertaining, and with the alternating story lines, it stayed fresh.
By now you know the book is about two Will Graysons who are about the same age and live in different nearby towns, and they go to different high schools. The two Will's meet by accident about half way through the story. The story is told in their voices, but it's really a story about platonic love between friends, and romantic love between each Will and their love interests.
The worst thing about the book was that it was not longer. I mean the book is longer than average, but I was fully sucked into the story and the worlds of the Will Graysons that I was sorry to see it end.
Here are some tags/trigger warnings.
I think it's well suited to almost any age although the authors are recommending 9th grade and up. The only reason I can think of for a 9th grad and up rating is that it has several gay characters who are okay with being gay. Or maybe because one character is living with depression, which he manages well.
Violence warning: minimal. There is this fear that a swing set will collapse while people are using it. There is also a flashback to a time when a character punched a little league coach when the coach insulted another player. Thats pretty much it.
Adult situations: not much to say. No sex to speak of other than high school kids going out on dates, using baseball metaphors, it's more or less a strike out as they did not get to first base.
I recommend this book, It is a fantastic read, quick, yet engaging and has a wonderful ending.
