I've just finished reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson and I'm not hunting for books that are like it because I loved it so much ! Do you have any recommendations ??x @justbsunshinehappy
Well as Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a collaboration between two authors you have two places to pull from! John Green is also the author of Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines, and most recently The Fault in Our Stars. David Levithan is the author of Boy meets Boy, The Realm of Possibility, Are We There Yet?, Marly’s Ghost, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist (Co-written with Rachel Cohn), Wide Awake, Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List (Co-written with Rachel Cohn), How They Met, and Other Stories, Likely Story, and Love is the Higher Law.
For just general book recommendations I would say Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Invincible Summer by Hannah Moscowitz, and White Cat by Holly Black.
Speak and Invincible Summer are both in the same genre, but White Cat and Ender’s Game are more in the Sci-fi/Fantasy Genre; Both are very good.
I hope this helps!
Also if anyone else wants to add any book recommendations feel free!
I’d pick you. Fuck it, I DO pick you. I want you to come over to my house in twenty years with your dude and your adopted kids and I want our fucking kids to hang out and I want to, like, drink wine and talk about the Middle East or whatever the fuck we’re gonna want to do when we’re old. We’ve been friends for too long to pick, but if we could pick, I’d pick you.
Shouldn’t letting go be painless if you’ve never learned how to hold on?
But there is the word, this word Phil Wrayson taught me once: weltzschmerz. It’s the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be. I live in a big goddamned weltzschmerz ocean, you know? And so do you. And so does everyone. Because everyone thinks it should be possible just to keep falling and falling forever, to feel the rush of the air on your face as you fall, that air pulling your face into a brilliant goddamned smile. And that should be possible. You should be able to fall forever.
Nothing’s wrong. Everything’s right. Things couldn’t be righter. Things could be less tired. They could be less busy. They could be less caffeinated. But they couldn’t be righter.

“You may not have noticed, but I’m not what you’d call conventionally beautiful. In fact, you might say that I’m the opposite of that. Say, you know - to vocalize, sometimes ad nauseam? Do you think that there’s any minute in any day when I’m not aware of how big I am? Do you think there’s a single minute that goes by when I’m not thinking about how other people see me? Even though I have no control whatsoever over that? Don’t get me wrong - I love my body. But I’m not so much of an idiot to think that everybody else loves it. What really gets to me- what really bothers me - is that it’s all people see.”
