SYNOPSIS

WILL GRAYSON, MEET WILL GRAYSON.

One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two strangers cross paths. Two teens with the same name, running in two very different circles, suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, culminating in heroic turns-of-heart and the most epic musical ever to grace the high-school stage.

Will Grayson, will grayson is the first book, that I had picked up because I got bored with my physics class, *insert Sheev Palpatine’s* ironic, this book contained physics.

Most of you guys had already read this or planning to, but if you want to know why you should pick this up, here’s why:

• The narrative is told by two boys, both named Will Grayson.

• One Will Grayson, the one who writes with proper grammar and capital letters, feels in the shadow of his best friend Tiny - "the world's largest person who is really, really gay". Tiny is putting on a musical, at first entitled Tiny Dancer, but this Will Grayson is straight.

• The other will grayson is quite depressed – he's not got all that many friends, and the one that he does have…you'll have to see what happens to her.

• This Will Grayson is gay, and the two meet in a very unlikely situation: in a porn shop.

• The LGBT element of this novel is not even both the Will Graysons getting together.

And hey here’s my favorite quote:

When things break, it's not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. It's because a little piece gets lost - the two remaining ends couldn't fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape has changed.
