Weird sometimes too much in my opinion. I enjoyed the last few chapters. I thought the writing could've been better.

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.

This was my favorite book for a long time. But now can see how problematic book and message is. So I can see why some people hate it. The first time I readed it was 7th grade and now every time I read it I love it.
