This book written by John Green and David Levithan is a story about two teenagers both called Will Grayson. The book is a quite intense but its pretty funny. It is written in a way that one chapter is telling the point of view of one Will Grayson and the other chapter is telling the point of view of the other Will Grayson. The book starts showing the life of the Will Grayson that lives in Chicago and his best friend is Tiny Cooper. Besides Tiny, Will has more friends like Jane, Gary and Nick. For now on I'll call this Will Grayson , Will #1 so we don't get confused. Moving to the other Will Grayson,who will be called Will #2, also lives in Chicago but at the opposite side. His friends are Simon, Maura and Derek but Will found a best friend online, his name is Isaac and he lives in Orlando. The thing with Isaac is that he and Will haven't really met in person. So the first part of the book is just an introduction to the characters and a look at their lives.
This is a close reaction you'll get if you read the book because its really confusing at first but you want to know if they will meet.
"Follow two very simple rules: 1.Don't care too much. 2. Shut up." (Green, 5)
This is a quote from the chapter of Will#1 explaining he has never cry since he was 7 and he avoids problems by following those rules. I think that in this quote his personality is expressed because he just avoids everything therefore he doesn't confront his problems and its not good for him. I also think there is going to be a point in his life which the rules won't work anymore.
"she got her answer, but it didn't exactly inspire trust. " (Levithan, 61)
This quote if from Will#2's chapter talking about his friend Maura who always get a way to get answers by putting you really uncomfortable by asking a lot of questions. You can see that the friendship between them it's not real. Will #2 doesn't trust Maura and I believe he doesn't even think of her as a true friend maybe not even as a friend.
I realised the chapters of Will #1 were written by John Green and the chapters of Will#2 by David Levithan, I saw this in a video of John Green talking about the book and with that information it all had more sense. The fact that is written by 2 different people and in 2 different styles, make the book more real, and there are 2 completely different ways to express the story. An example of that are the chapters written by John Green follow's the capitalisation and punctuation rules, while the chapters by David Levithan don't use them. He won't even use them when starting a name nor starting a new sentence.
