Will Grayson, Will Grayson

Will Grayson is straight in the first chapter. And Will Grayson is gay in the second chapter. So he’s bisexual? Not exactly. He . . . well, not he . . . they are two different teens with the same name, but different sexual orientations. Separate lives, separate stories, and then they meet. Not terribly friendly initially, the two Graysons become friends, and each gives his perspective on the same events, including a fabulous high-school musical. Original idea, well-written, humorous, touching . . . overall, a great read. —Review: Blase DiStefano
