《威尔·格雷森，威尔·格雷森》

    What’s in a name? A pretty fantastic book idea, for starters. At heart, “Will Grayson, Will Grayson” is about a couple of kids figuring out* how to be themselves.

    When Will Grayson, an awkward* teen who is unsure of how to connect with others without getting hurt, and will grayson, an angry, gay teen, both living in the suburbs* of Chicago, meet by chance, their lives are forever changed and connected.

    Will Grayson’s gay* best friend, Tiny Cooper, suddenly becomes will grayson’s new boyfriend. The relationship doesn’t last, though, and the aftereffects* almost shatter* Will and Tiny’s friendship.

    Dealing with the relationships in each teen’s life, authors John Green and David Levithan address friendship, self-identity and acceptance, true love, family, and prejudice* in a novel sure to touch the hearts of readers.

    The relevance* for teens is clear — high school is the only time in your life when you have the chance to obsess* over your every move, sentence, and outfit change — but the part about understanding who you are doesn’t stop when you graduate. That’s what makes the book as interesting a pick for adults as it is for teens: the questions don’t get simpler, but looking at them through the eyes of a 16-year-old brings a welcome sense of honesty and humor to this thing called life.
