He lists his own two main rules for life as “don’t care too much” and “shut up” believing that all pain and awkwardness can be avoided if they are followed.
John Green’s Will is a masterful balance of self-aware and emotionally immature. The chapters alternate between each of their first person points of view.
Where I think the novel really succeeds is in the differentiation between each Will Grayson, especially when it comes to the development of each Will’s voice. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, building toward romantic turns-of-heart and the epic production of history’s most fabulous high school musical. Here is the goodreads blurb: One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens-both named Will Grayson-are about to cross paths. They wrote their parts separately and the rest, as no one in the novel would say because it is much too clichéd, is history. Green wrote the odd numbered chapters and Levithan wrote the even ones. They began with a concept – two boys with the same name meeting. Instead of trying to agree on each aspect of the book Green and Levithan split the work evenly down the middle.
Once I looked into their writing process, how the authors collaborated was almost as interesting to me as the story itself. Still, I wasn’t sure how their co-written YA novel, Will Grayson, Will Grayson, would measure up. I am a huge fan of John Green and also very much enjoyed Every Day by David Levithan. Tiny and pink pants guy were, I think, to show that Tiny was going to move on and be fine (and maybe a bit of a joke about how he always has a new crush/boyfriend every few weeks.) I feel like everything in this book was really subtle and easy to miss.Published by Speak, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. Will also tells other Will online that he misses Tiny, "but not in the way he wants me to." Will misses Tiny as a friend and wants to show Tiny he appreciates him because if it weren't for Tiny then Will would still have been depressed and hating himself and his life would not have changed in the ways that it had over the past few weeks. And if you look back through the book, there are little hints that Will likes gideon. Even when he calls out to Tiny from the audience he's squeezing Gideon's pinky. I was confused about if Will and Tiny got back together but I think it's implied that Will got together with Gideon because in the car on the way to the play Will thinks about the fact that both Maura and Tony wanted to feel the way Will felt when he was with Gideon but that it was never going to happen because they just weren't the right fit for him.
