i had to take a lot of breaks reading this because some parts regarding the MC’s mental illness were almost too relatable but am i being bold if i say this is his best book?

Cried a small.
Green has a supernatural (or maybe natural) to make the most beautiful, life-exploring stories out of tragedy.

Might be my favorite fiction from him, but Alaska is really close.
