I think and I think and I think.....Reading about someone else’s anxiety gives me anxiety.

Also, you know you’re too old for Y/A novels when the teen narrator mentions her dad’s favorite rap artist cassette tape and you think, “same.”

Such an easy read. This is my first John Green book I’ve picked up and read and it was a delight. I felt like the book flowed really well and I just breezed through it. The only reason I didn’t finish it in one day was because I stared it late one night and had a very busy day the next day.

I think Green wrote his character so amazingly and did justice to his subject matter. While I wish it could have ended a little different I still think he wrapped it up how it should have been.

I didn't love this book but also didn't hate it. I liked the OCD representation and the characters, however the mystery part of it fell super flat for me, which made the ending kind of boring.
