Not bad, the romance fell a little flat but it wasn't the main point of the story so that didn't bother me too much. All of the characters were flawed in a realistic way and that showed in the relationships they had. Some parts (mainly the romantic ones for me) felt a little boring but I really liked the character study of someone struggling with severe OCD. I probably would've enjoyed this book if I had picked it up in high school, but overall not bad!

It was a good pallet cleanser, but not my favorite John Green book. The plot kinda falls off midway through the book and the rest is just filler up until the last 15 pages.

The description of mental illness got to me.
The side plot, however, did not.
