While this story made me cry and genuinely fall in love with the main characters and their romance, I feel the plot was always lacking. I think John Green is a master of chemistry and dialogue, but the plot and storyline itself is stretched thin with confusing turns that are interrupted with tender scenes between our main characters that come as a relief.
