gay

Coauthored by John Green and David Levithan, Will Grayson, Will Grayson follows the crossing paths of two high schoolers, who incidentally both happen to be named Will Grayson.  Their connection is sealed when larger-than-life Tiny Cooper, best friend to one, becomes the boyfriend of the other, and all of them learn about self-discovery and being a positive force in someone else’s life.

Narration bounces back and forth between the Will Graysons, and this book excels at expressing the internal insecurities of these young men as they navigate the choppy waters of friendship and relationships. 

When two rough young ranch hands end up on Brokeback Mountain for a summer herding sheep together, they form a bond so strong that it holds across the years. Despite marriages with children, physical distance, and intolerance in the ranching community, they manage to sustain their affair until one falls victim to the hatred he had chosen to ignore.
