Will Grayson, Will Grayson (2010) by John Green and David Levithan appeals to me for a number of reasons. It's funny, heartfelt and set in Chicago (where I was born and whence my father's family hails). It's also an interesting collaboration between two well-regarded young-adult writers who have written it in alternating chapters, each in the voice of a character named - no surprise - Will Grayson. The two produced a book I like more than any of their individual efforts, good though they often are.
