Synopsis from Goodreads: Jazz hands at the ready! Tiny Cooper (“the world’s largest person who is also really, really gay”) stole readers’ hearts when he was introduced to the world in the New York Times bestselling book Will Grayson, Will Grayson,co-authored by John Green and David Levithan. Now Tiny finally gets to tell his story—from his fabulous birth and childhood to his quest for true love and his infamous parade of ex-boyfriends—the way he always intended: as a musical! Filled with honesty, humor, and “big, lively, belty” musical numbers, the novel is told through the full script of the musical first introduced in Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

Why I’m excited: Tiny Cooper. Tiny. Cooper. He was hands-down my favorite character in Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I’m pretty sure he was everyone’s favorite character in Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I didn’t know until a few days ago that there’s going to be a book about him, but I need it. He’s honest and funny and wonderful. Such a great character. Plus, it’s told through the script of the musical from Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I mean, this sounds amazing. Also, “Hold Me Closer, Tiny Cooper.” Hahaha.
