If you met someone with the same name as you in a porn store, what would you do? Walk away as if you didn't realize you shared a name? Say something? Don't know? Well, in the case of both Will Grayson and Will Grayson, this strange coincidence happens. Due to circumstances that neither one of them could have foreseen, they both end up in a porn store one night in Chicago. When they discover they share a name, they tell their stories of how they landed where they are. While they are completely different people, they realize that maybe their meeting wasn't just a coincidence. What follows is how this meeting changes both of them for the better.
I'll admit it. The cover caught me last year. It wasn't until about a month ago that I even finally purchased it, but I'm so happy that I did. I absolutely, in every way, love with this book. If you like the work that either of these authors have put out, you'll love this one. It's funny, full of music, feels conversational and really great all around. I read another review that said it was sort of like a John Hughes film and it kind of is. But if his work was being put out today. Did I mention they talk about Neutral Milk Hotel? That had me pretty quick.
I smiled quite a bit, laughed a lot and kept thinking, "This needs to be a movie. It'd be amazing!" the whole time. I found it hard to put down and was sad when it was over. I would also like everyone I know to read this as well. You'll thank me later.
