I keep going back to this book, mostly in nostalgia, a nice comfort. I first read the book back in 7th grade (2013)

I liked a lot of the themes and there were some really good lines that will stick with me. Even though I saw it coming the last chunk of the book still made me cry. Felt intensely 2012 and teenagery at times, which I'd consider a good thing given that's who this book is written about and for.
Unfortunately, a lot of the characters didn't feel like real people to me. The narrative always felt like it was keeping too much distance for the characters to become fully realized. As a consequence I never really bought into the love story as much as I wanted to. That distance also made the timeline feel unclear unless explicitly stated, and as a result the pacing also felt off.
I see why this was a sensation and I'm glad I read it, but I'm just a little too old (and too into character-focused stories) for it to hit me the way it might have ten years ago.

ספר מדהים, עצוב ומרגש ומלא תקווה
אומנם לא בכיתי בסוף אבל לגמרי בכיתי מבפנים הרבה פעמים
מאוד אהבתי את הדמויות והתחברתי אליהן בהרבה דרכים גם בלי הקטע של הסרטן וגסיסה, תודה לאל

okay, so, i’ve read this book before. this is probably my 2nd or 3rd time reading it. god, where can i start. i like these cheesy YA books, but also, who cares if they’re cheesy? i still cried!!! i guess that means it was impactful, right? my only critique for this book (and greens writing in general) is the advanced vocabulary for the age group. listen, i’m almost in my 20s… a lot of teens do not use a lot of these words and i am quite good at reading comprehension but thank god i read this on kindle and could see what some of the words were/how they were pronounced. so yeah.. -.5 for that. but overall a good book, especially if i keep coming back to it
