A coincidental run-in with each other at a porn store (long story) leads the reader into both their lives, traversing the crossroads where their narratives overlap at intervals throughout the novel. Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a tale of two Graysons named Will. In fact, point 3 may just be the most important of all. This is about Will Grayson, Will Grayson, a novel that manages to transcend my dislike for one of its two authors by 1) having absurdly good characters 2) having David Levithan on board WHOM I LOVE 3) somehow avoiding Green’s pitfall of the edgy, whiny, teenage protagonist. The last didn’t turn out well because I got annoyed at the main character about two pages in, and ragequitted when she kept whining about the world and her life.īut this isn’t about my inability to stomach John Green even though I’m of the opinion that his writing’s hella pretentious. Don’t say I never tried – I’ve read Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines and attempted The Fault in Our Stars. I’ll come right out and say it: I dislike the topics he writes about.
