Will Grayson, Will Grayson / John Green and David Levithan / 310 / 12 Drummers Drumming December Challenge

"Crying is almost totally avoidable if you follow two very simple rules: 1. Don't care too much. 2. Shut up."  This was Will Grayson's mantra.  His best friend, Tiny, is quite large and proudly gay.  His is active in GSA at school and is currently writing a musical about his life (and love).  There are actually two Will Grayson's and the second is gay.  Although this book was a Teen Best of the Best and highly recommend on the blog and it did contain several memorable scenes and a rousing ending, I would not recommend this one - too much bad language, underage drinking, and gay pride for me.


"Love is the most common miracle."
"Being in a relationship, that's something you choose.  Being friends, that's just something you are."
"When things break, it's not the actual breaking that prevents them getting back together again.  It's because a little piece gets lost - the remaining ends couldn't fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape has changed."
