I loved this book, although

it does have a sex scene that may be uncomfortable to some readers

Its a really good book. I liked that the characters were not written to be love able but in some parts i hated them. (Miles was just annoying 99% of the time tho). It contains topics that might be triggering so make sure to check the tw before you read it.

I was honestly surprised at how hard this book was to put down. and definitely wasn’t expecting to cry at the end, or at all, but alas i did, multiple times. I was a little skeptical and didn’t think it would be this good mainly because it is by John Green (no hate to john green as a person but…yk didnt love the fault in our stars). But wow did he prove me wrong. I think i find it this amazing because i felt very connected to Alaska’s character. Although it was a very emotional book, the ending was so beautiful and hopeful (for lack of a better word). I closed the book while tearing up, but smiling. Would definitely recommend, to the right person.
