I think this was my third re-read. I thought I remembered it too well to cry this time, but I still ended up bawling (which is a good thing).

This book eats me up from the inside. Reading Theodore's point of view can kill me. Poor my baby blue.

If you enjoyed 13 Reasons Why, The Fault In Our Stars and Paper Towns then you'll love this book. Unfortunately I did not, so to me it's just another YA book that romanticises suicide and has pretentious main characters that quote dead poets at each other. I found it very depressing and I'm not sure what the point of it all was.

The writing in this book is abrasive, but that's what makes it so honest. It's not a perfect book but it's a poignant representation of mental illness and the different ways it manifests. This book doesn't bullshit you with romanticism or a perfect ending, it is very realistic about pain and closure.

Here is a list of thoughts I had while reading this book, as it might be the only way to articulate the experience of reading this: 

The dad is a Canadian hockey player 😭😭

Bro you're quoting Virginia Wolf keep it in your pants 

I just know this author is one pretentious fucker 

he won’t play baseball because he doesn’t want to be a black stereotype are you serious right now who does this white ass author think she is 

“Did you hit that yet or what” 🧍‍♀️

Is he smoking in gym class 

Why didn’t they just get the other voice actor to do the dialogue for their character. Like why is this man pretending to be a teenage girl crying when you have a woman actress 

“She is different from all other girls” bro shut up 

“Vampire Diaries is life” this is so real and based 

“Clothes off, m*dget” 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

Stop talking about space I'm scared 

Am I supposed to feel sad now 

This is a sad ass authors note I feel a little bit bad now but kinda not really
