Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a unique and groundbreaking collaboration between two of the most celebrated young adult authors, John Green and David Levithan. The novel alternates between two different first-person narratives, both of which belong to a character named Will Grayson. The first Will Grayson, written by Green, is a heterosexual teenager who tries to live his life by not caring about anything, constantly trying to maintain a state of emotional detachment. The second Will Grayson, written by Levithan, is a gay teenager struggling with depression, struggling to connect with the world and his crush. Their lives fatefully collide on a cold night in an unexpected corner of Chicago. The accidental meeting sets off a chain of events that forces both boys to confront their emotional barriers, their identities, and the complexities of friendship and romance, all culminating in the production of a highly ambitious, potentially disastrous, high school musical. The novel is a profound, witty, and deeply moving exploration of friendship, depression, queer identity, and the concept of finding yourself within the vast, confusing tapestry of high school life.
