The only real issues I had with the book were the sort of childishness present in even adult topics. For me at least, Aza and Davis’s grief didn’t feel real. It felt like a story. The only real adult figure (Aza’s mom) felt without control and aimless. And though I loved the intricacies of Daisy and Aza’s friendship, I could not find myself to take Daisy’s character seriously. She just did not feel entirely real either.
But overall, I think this book just solidifies John Green’s impact as a writer capable of bringing such important issues to young people. I did enjoy this book.

The characters were extremely lovable. Each interesting and with their own endearing personalities. The friendship between Aza and Daisy was sweet and complicated, but at the same time so simple.
As I’ve said in other reviews, if I find a book memorable I come back and give it 5 stars. So we’ll see if it sticks with me!
