I like contemporary YA, especially if it features LGBTQ characters and is smartly written. In theory, I should love John Green and David Levithan. Hilarious, poignant, and deeply insightful, John Green and David Levithan’s collaborative novel is brimming with a double helping of the heart and humor that have won both of them legions of faithful fans. 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. Synopsis (Goodreads): One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens-both named Will Grayson-are about to cross paths.

Though Will Grayson, Will Grayson was entertaining, and I see the merits, it was not one of my favorite books.
That’s been my experience reading both John Green and David Levithan, two authors who are well-respected in the field of young adult literature. It’s disappointing when high expectations for a book aren’t met.
