Reviews'Levithan's self-conscious, analytical style marries perfectly with the plot. His musings on love, longing and human nature knit seamlessly with A's journey.

An awe-inspiring, thought-provoking reminder that love reaches beyond physical appearances or gender.' -- Kirkus Reviews on Every Day 'An irresistible premise...Those familiar with Levithan's earlier work will not be a bit surprised to learn that his latest is beautifully written...a study in style, an exercise in imagination, and an opportunity for readers themselves to occupy another life, that of A himself.' -- Booklist on Every Day '[A] literary gem.' -- Girlfriend Magazine on Every Day 'A complete romp...the novel is so tightly woven that it begins to feel miraculous...Will Grayson, Will Grayson is so funny, rude and original that by the time flowers hit the stage after Hold Me Closer, even the musical-averse will cheer.' -- New York Times on Will Grayson Will Grayson 'Author David Levithan's extraordinary imagination has been let off the leash in this exceptionally clever and poignant tale.' -- Sunday Tasmanian on Every Day Author descriptionDavid Levithan is an award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of young adult books, including Boy Meets Boy, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (with Rachel Cohn) and Will Grayson, Will Grayson (with John Green).
