In addition to being a coming of age novel, this book was also a portrait of grief. It showed how people don’t ever really move on from a loss, it just fits into their life in a different way as time goes by. The grief in this book didn’t absolutely rip my heart out like The Fault In Our Stars did, but it did make me feel things. I think I also have a better idea of what it’s like to live with chronic anxiety now; I love when books have something to teach me.
Overall a decent book, but not my favorite by John Green. He’s written better in my opinion.

Sounds silly but what weakened the book for me was the fact that I’ve listened to the Anthropocene Reviewed. And the subjects he chooses there are also Easter eggs/muses he applies here. Some felt fun, like John’s love for Dr. pepper, but others felt abrupt like Ava’s mom singing Aulde Lang Signe to her.

Then on top of it, the incredible depiction of OCD and intrusive thoughts. I have not personally experienced these, but Aza’s inner world helped me understand it so much better.
The plot was almost secondary for me, but these characters will stick with me.
