You know, I understand why my middle school self was so dramatic about this book. It really short, but the message it sends packs a punch. It hurts even worse after I’ve lost someone more recently to cancer. I think Turtles All the Way Down is my favorite John Green book, but this one will always have a special place in my heart.

The characters were amazing, I wish everyone spoke like they do.
Everyone should read this. Made me cry loads.
This is a very good book.
There’s a lot to appreciate about a book that simply tells a story very well, and this is one such book.
I avoided it for a long time because I expected it to be sad and in the end I’m a bit surprised that I (even I) didn’t cry. It was worth confronting such sadness because it was the sort of book I couldn’t put down.
Some favorite lines:
“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”
“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you.”

I read this book this Summer while on vacation. i will always remember this book as the book that had me sobbing while sitting at the resort pool, next to the waterslide. I bought this hardcover, but I wish I had bought it on my kindle because there were so many words I wanted to look up in the dictionary.

This book is depressing and sent me into a spiral. That being said, I was obsessed with this book as a 16 year old.
Well it was a perfectly good love story, but I just don't get the hype about this book. Yes it was good but I always had the feeling that it was written so it could be a movie, and that is not how a book should be. There were not many scenes and that means that only the most important things are in the book. I want all the small details. This book made me feel like I could just have watched the movie and that would have been the same as reading the book.
