This book is no regular romance; the characters are intelligent and reflective, their thoughts are like poetry, it made this book of words fly by so fast. The ending was heartbreaking yet lovely. Everything that happened felt intensional, i was grateful for that. The quotes I got from this book are real tear jerkers/ worthy of being in a philosophers paper. I think I’ll read this again.

I can't remember what triggered it but something made me really curious about re-reading this. It was one of my favourite books when I first read it in 2012 and I was pleased to find I still enjoyed it 12 years later. It's not the kind of book I'd pick up for the first time now, so some of my enjoyment came from nostalgia but there were still lots of elements I liked. For a sad book, it's funnier than I remembered. I felt more attached to the characters than I was expecting and still enjoyed Green's writing style.
