I would give the book a much higher rating, but Hank Green managed to write one of the worst protagonists I've ever come across. Fuck, April May is just awful. I was rooting for her death from beginning to end of this damn book. She's just a pure scumbag to everyone around her. Annoying. Selfish, narcissist who was still worrying about views in the midst of dying!! Her character alone brought the entire book down. Had it been written from the perspective of literally any other character the book would have garnered a much higher rating. But as it is...

This book made me feel a lot of things and consider a lot of truly interesting facets about how we all interact with each other in the world day. It wasn't a consistently enjoyable experience, but I was enraptured the entire time, and that was clearly the intention.

I've read it three times now. One of my favorite books. It gets stressful at parts, but definitely worth it. Two part series, you don't want to miss the second book. If you like anything Hank Green has ever done, there's a good chance you'll like his books.
