Will Grayson Letters

I wanted to contact you with some of my thoughts on the novel you and David Levithan wrote together Will Grayson, will grayson. In this letter I want to talk about three main things; How Will develops as a person throughout the novel, how I thought you wrote the novel, and what things I thought would make it better.

First, I wanted to tell you my thoughts on how you developed Will and his character throughout the novel. The way you developed both of the Will characters I thought was done marvelously, and I think you and David did not deviate from the confusion within Wills’ head with Jane, and in the other Will’s head when struggling with his depression through his online relationship with Isaac. I also really appreciated the thought you put

I first just wanted to compliment the complex layers of craftsmanship on top of each other in your writing. I really enjoy how you write because it gives key details that the reader needs to know along with humor and relatable engaging text to keep the reader on their toes. I thought when you were writing from the perspectives of both of the Wills’ that you kept their stories intermingled while still keeping them two separate stories. I think the best way I can describe it is that you captivate whoever you are writing for by having relatable real world perspectives for teenagers like myself to relate to. I also wanted to touch on what I thought made the writing exceptional. I just think throughout the whole book so far the character portrayal is flawless and the plot is progressing really well and all of the inklings you insert throughout the novel to Will finding his true self is awesome and really adds a whole new dynamic to the literature. I really liked when they were thinking about the school musical and while Will is trying to get Tiny into shape to practice Jade takes him aside and he said, “Damned if I talk, damned if I don’t.” (Green & Levithan 160) I thought this quote really showed how Will felt trapped when dealing with Tiny and his problems, and I think you wrote that section perfectly to indicate how Will is dealing with Tiny’s emotions
