“You never know what someone is going through. Be kind. Always.” - is the quote that best describes this book for me.

Every character, every flaw, all the differences between them, their childhood & every struggle they went through makes it real. Someone in our world is one of these characters. You’ll just never know who.

really liked it, not as much as i did a few years back, pudge and his obsessive immature love with alaska can be a bit annoying and repetitive, he is quite ignorant all in all not a ton happens and i did not like REALLY want to read, but the descriptions of culver creek paint a really nice picture and made me emerge in the story, characters are flawed, all in all very realistic and thought provoking
