The first book I've read in under 2 days in a very long time, in order to meet a deadline of the seeing the movie with somebody. (If you want to get technical, this is the first book I've read in under a month in a long time. I really should devote more time to reading.)

It's was ok. It was entertaining enough to keep me interested. The ending was a bit underwhelming and Q's character was annoying at times. An entertaining, quick read.

This was enjoyable to a point, but in the end I became frustrated with the story. While the dialogue was witty, and the characters do offer a few piercing insights into the teenage experience, overall the book was a bit too fraught with the worry and angst I try to escape when reading.

It was a good read and there were some LOL moments like the pink Grandma shirt but I just felt let down that nothing huge happened. I realize it was all about personal growth but I just kept thinking how selfish Q was to expect everyone to drop everything for Margot who is really a pretty shitty person.

Read this in one day. Super entertaining, about a boy who’s searching for a girl - part thriller, part detective story, all John-Green-teenage-romance-and-adventure story.

Great book. I've come to expect nothing less from John Green.
