I stand up then say, "Um, I'm Will Grayson."
"W-I-L-L G-R-A-Y-S-O-N?" he says, spelling impossibly fast.
"Uh, yeah," I say. "Why do you ask?"
The kid looks at me for a second, his head turned like he thinks I might be putting him on, and then finally he says, "Because I am also Will Grayson."
(This is where the two Will Graysons run in to each other and discover that they have the same name. At this point in the book, the plot picks up and the story really begins to develop.)
In this novel two very different teenage boys meet under unlikely circumstances.. they share the same name. Every other chapter is written by John Green's version of Will Grayson and the chapters in between are written by David Levithan's version of Will Grayson. I am going to refer to them as "John's" and "David's" that way the same name doesn't get confusing.
John's version of Will is a boy with not many friends who sticks to two major rules... 1.) Don't care too much and 2.) Shut up. He keeps his opinions to himself and only really has a couple of friends.
David's version of Will is a boy that I picture to still be in the "emo" phase. He doesn't like anyone but Isaac. Isaac is a boy he met online and has been talking to for about a year. He finally gets up the courage to meet Isaac in public and when Isaac never shows up, Will realizes that one of his friends made Isaac up as a prank.
This point in the book is where the two Will's accidentally meet and then their lives change forever. (Stereotypical, I know.) This is also where I am in the book so I will finish the summary on the next response.
