5.0

One of my favorite books of all time, probably because I’ve never cried and laughed so hard for one book. I love the way that Andrews is so honest about his characters’ flaws, overtly avoiding romanticization and filling the novel to overflowing with irreverent humor and yet throwing gut punches with gorgeous and heartbreaking language.
