This book was not at all what I was expecting, not that I even know really what I was expecting, but I was surprised. I think when you boil it all down it's about relationships and being free to be who you are within those relationships...whether they are friendships, relationships with your parents, or romantic relationships. I think it's beautiful to truly appreciate someone for who they are, but even more so to let them know that.

While the title leads us to believe that book is about Will Grayson, (and ok, it is,) it's also about Tiny Cooper. Tiny is about the most real and honest character in the book and it's really hard not to just love him for it, even when you don't agree with what he's doing or saying. I really enjoyed the growth of the Will Grayson characters though. While Tiny is already pretty secure in who he is, each Will has things about himself that he needs to work on or would like to change to feel more complete. I like that this story makes it about finding that within yourself and not looking toward a significant other or even a friend to complete you.

Finally, I love that the book shows that it's ok to love someone and put yourself out there...not just in a romantic way but in your friendships too. I'm a person who readily tells my friends I love them, and I think more people should.
