Review

When I finished this book, I logged straight into Goodreads – it's like a ritual now. I sat there, Goodreads in one hand, this book in the other, being asked what rating I would give it. Initially, I was thinking four stars, but then, out loud, I asked myself "what's wrong with this book?" The answer? Nothing. So five stars is what it gets.

Review

I've been thinking about what to write about this book for a day or two now and haven't been sure how to go about it. For me, three stars is 'yeah, it was good. There was nothing wrong with it. I didn't love it. It was fine.' How do I expand on that? I'm writing this review right now and I'm still not sure so I'm just going to plough on, and hope something comes out. 

I'm going to start with Tiny Cooper because, let's face it, he's pretty hard to ignore. I had no problems with his character, no problems with his extravagance until it started to encroach on the story. There were times it felt like the story was Tiny's and with a title like Will Grayson, Will Grayson, it upset me a little. I needed Tiny to remain a supporting role and let the Wills come centre stage.
