WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON by John Green and David Levithan

Will Grayson, Will Grayson follows two teenage boys, both named Will Grayson, struggling with relationships in different ways. Their lives intertwine as they relate to their mutual friend, Tiny Cooper, and deal with sexual identity, friendship, and heartbreak.

This book was written in an interesting style, with the two Will's narrating alternating chapters in unique voices. I enjoyed the story and felt for the characters, until the ending, which was a tad cheesy.

The dual authorship of this book makes it an interesting read, although readers may be unsatisfied with the ending.

Recommended for Grades 11 - 12.

LOVE (AND OTHER USES FOR DUCT TAPE) by Carrie Jones

Belle is still shaken up after her perfect boyfriend turned gay. Everyone seems to be changing around her, but her new boyfriend, Tom, doesn't seem to be changing his idea about love. And with a pregnant best friend, high school is hard to deal with.

This book examined the struggles of teenage relationships. Belle and her friends are fun to read about, and the book never gets boring or drawn out. Belle deals with the pressure many girls do to have sex while watching her friend deal with her pregnancy.

Outstanding.
