I've forgotten what it's like to completely immerse myself into a good book and I did just that last Sunday when I finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson from cover to cover in less than a day. I know I haven't been reading much and when I noticed that my schedule for the weekend was pretty clear, I pulled the book out from my bookshelf and started reading. ☺
My personal favorite from all the characters is Tiny Cooper because he was the one I could mostly relate to. Being under appreciated and all. He voices most of his feelings but not in an annoying way like most characters do just to get attention. While reading, I really felt like Tiny was genuine with what he felt and was not pretentious at all.

I was a little hesitant when I flipped through the first few pages of this book because I really didn't know what to feel towards it. This was my first book by John Green and second by David Levithan (both are extraordinary authors). The use of language is understandable for anyone atleast 12 (an estimate) but there are times when the characters curse but not so often that it's insulting.
The story touches on most of the issues teenagers face nowadays including depression, homosexuality, insecurity, love/infatuation and much more. The plot is centered on the alternating lives of 2 boys named Will Grayson whose experiences are completely different from each other. If you've heard that this is a gay (guy to guy) book, it is. But not hardcore like any sexual scenes or something. I mean, sure there is kissing at one point or another but rest assured, nothing is scandalizing.

This book was honest, hilarious and heart-warming in so many ways and I loved it from start to finish. Although there is part in the story that might get you confused, it is very understandable. There was never a dull moment. ☺
