This made me so nostalgic for how much of a pretentious teen I was :-) I loved writing poems and falling in love. John captured that so well, it's a beautiful book.

Reread this after a few years - still a heartfelt and heart wrenching story that made me cry again. The further I get from being a teenager the more I value things like this that remind me how shit it was to have so much feeling yet so little life experience yet.

"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."
I don’t think any book has ever made me feel so much at once. The Fault in Our Stars had me giggling at Augustus’ witty and confident charm and then crying uncontrollably like a child just a few pages later.
By the end of the book, I was an emotional wreck. Even though I knew what was coming, it still broke me. This story is about love, loss, and finding beauty in the smallest moments. It’s not just a book you read—it’s a story that stays with you, resonating long after you turn the last page. If you ever get The chance to read it, take it. You won't regret it.
