Anyways, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad book, I just didn’t really like the directions made in the book with the characters. It’s just okay

Would I read it again? No
John green was kind of a weirdo for this one, tbh. Just really don't like this manic pixie dream girl situation, which I will admit that he kinda does confront, but I also just hate the way he writes about Alaska's body. I understand that it's from the perspective of a teenage boy thinking about a teenage girl, but I was just thinking about 28 year old John Green sitting there writing about this 16 year old girl's breasts hanging from her chest and I just cannot....
I wouldn't read it again (again), but it was fun to revisit a book I haven't read since high school. It does not hold up, but I still like some of the themes ("suffering is universal" had such an impact on me at 16 years old).
