This review is going to be short and sweet, which is wild because I usually do not stfu! Anyway, my mind is in a million places today but I do want to say that if you haven't read a John Green book yet, take this as your sign to do so! He is probably one of three cishet white men that I will read anything by him lol. The way he wrote the mental health representation here was beautiful, and I teared up a few times reading this. His writing and his characters are tender, flawed (as humans are), authentic, hopeful, and comforting. His writing is an example of young adult main characters getting their due and being portrayed in a respectful and compassionate way!
