“that night i let her go because she told me to. it was that simple for me, and that stupid.”
2 stars is kind of harsh because i thoroughly enjoyed the messaging in the book, the references to religion & poetry/biography & what happens when we die. i have started this book so many times & am glad to have finished it. however, none of the characters were likable. & i fear there’s no big takeaway here. & maybe that’s the takeaway: we are all just awful people trying to make meaning out of nothing. but i don’t much like that, and i don’t much like john green’s portrayal of depression. so 2 stars

In 2005 when I was a senior in high school, the same year this book was published, one of my best friends died. I wish someone would've handed me this novel. Even Eight years later, it has helped me make sense of what I felt at 17.
