This book is great, I think people are slightly over critical because it is so popular but I liked it non the less. Great plot twists and symbolism.

I found ghe style of writing interesting and easy to read and the romance was really unique but i can’t say i liked the main character much because of her obsession with rationalising everything to her views and discounting those of everyone else, even her parents. It made her seem quite egotistical. The beginning was a bit cliché but there were some funny plot twists.

I'm an absolute sucker for star and universe metaphors, analogies, what have you. I found it very sweet although it's known to be sad and a little too real at times. It's a good little coming of age time with tons of metaphors and symbolism here and there. It's worth the read. Plus the movie's pretty enjoyable as well :)
