John Green has the saddest imagination of any author I have read. I went into this book knowing something gravely sad happens because that's how the author writes. However, the character build up outside the plot was a lot and I found myself thinking at some points if parts actually had any relevanxe to the plot or outcome. I still really enjoyed it. My favorite thing about this whole book is Miles paper at the end. I feel like if you are grieving his words will help you think deeply about life and loss. I think even if you do not want to read this whole book reading that paper would make you love it anyway. I also have to say Wil Wheaton narrates this book perfectly. He successfully gave voices to each individual character and added emotions to their words in a very meaningful way. His voice was soothing and steady. I would definitely recommend this audiobook.
