Gut wrenching. I read this after losing my father to cancer and it hurt so much worse. I’m someone who enjoys books with happy endings and this book does not give that. That being said, it broke my heart. Had some good adventures with laughs and romance. Very inspiring and reflective to think back on. I enjoy how brutal and realistic the cancer perspectives are and how raw the emotions get. Very realistic.

When I read this back in 2012 I probably would have given this a 5-star rating. But now having analyzed the contents of the book again (this time as an adult), I find a lot of its content to be really problematic and insensitive on many levels. Especially the scene in the Anne Frank House. It's disappointing as someone who was a big fan during John Green's youtube days. I just think there are likely better reads out there if you want to read about a story of teens trying to find love while fighting cancer.

I read this book in 1 day - I was hooked from the first page all the way through the last.
Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good cry. I was so sad it ended but I'm excited for the movie to bring the story to life later this year.

Incredible. Moving. Funny. Refreshing. Refreshing laughed I cried but more importantly I will think about long after the pages stop turning.
