Der eine Will zögert seit Wochen, sich selbst das einzugestehen, was für alle anderen offensichtlich ist: dass er nämlich bis über beide Ohren in seine wunderbare Mitschülerin Jane verliebt ist. Der andere Will flüchtet sich lieber in seine dubiose Online-Beziehung zu einem gewissen Isaac, anstatt sich im real life vor seinen Freunden zu outen. Doch alles ändert sich, als Will & Will eines Abends ganz zufällig aufeinandertreffen ...

Along the way comes an exploration of their relationship, their politics, and their country, and sometimes, as they learn, it''s more about the journey than it is about reaching the destination. Only David Levithan could so masterfully and creatively weave together a plot that''s both parts political action and reaction, as well as a touching and insightfully-drawn teen love story.
