john green was kind of a weirdo for this one, tbh
wouldn't read again (again), but it was fun to revisit a book i haven't read since high school. doesn't hold up, but i still like some of the themes

I loved it like I thought I’d love it, with all the charms for Green’s writing (apart from a few questionable lines which were acceptable to say at the time) but it didn’t break me like Paper Towns and The Fault In Our Stars did, hence knocking off half a ⭐️

I thought this book was incredibly boring. I was forced to read it by my English teacher because she said it was her favorite John green book ( I love John green btw) and I found her comment honestly disrespectful. Of all the amazing books he’s written, she chose the lost mind numbing piece of literature in his collection. The ending felt unexplained and honestly out of nowhere, but I guess that’s what you get from John Green books. Despite how much I disliked it, John did a great job at creating a kind of time vacuum for the reader. The main character seemed to lose track of the days just like I did while reading it and it helped me to understand the main characters mental state. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone unless they like slow paced, dialogue based, and plot hole filled stories.

💫📈 I enjoyed reading this book, the humour and chemistry between the characters. However, sometimes I lost interest...I wish there was more it that humour, it like something was missing; I expected more.
