I did enjoy this book, however less than the other John Green books I have read. Because of their illnesses there were times when not much was happening and I really wish he used those times to become more descriptive, so the pacing felt off at times. Near the end, again, I saw where his writing shines in tragedies and unfortunate circumstances. I would have given this book 3.5 stars but I really feel like the pacing just before

Gus’s death

could have been more descriptive or discussed more of Hazel’s thought process as she was

pre-grieving
