Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Finished reading this novel. When I first started to read it, I have to be honest, I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it. I am glad that I did.

The novel deals with a sensitive topic - homosexual relationships between two boys in a school setting. But - the message of the novel is much deeper. To be true to who you are and to be a true friend. This is summed up for me on p. 260 of the novel when Tiny Cooper, one of the main characters says, "But with friendship, there's nothing like that. Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that just something you are."

So many times, teenagers (and many adults for that matter) do not realize the power of friendship and what it means to truly be a friend.
