Let's talk about what I loved:
The characters: John Green has a real talent for creating developed, real characters that you can't help but love.
The dialogue: the dialogue and conversations are great, what more can I say?
The feels: this book made me cry and even laugh (not really a laugh, more of an exhale). It was great.
The writing style: the writing is consumable and accessible and makes great use of metaphors and similes.
The fanfiction: does John Green actually write Star Wars fanfiction in his spare time? How does he know so much?? He literally used the term 'kudos', like, what?? If he does then someone tell me what his A03 account is because I gotta know.
Now my criticisms:
The plot: the plot was by no way boring, I just didn't find myself as invested in it as I was the characters, which could be a fault on my part.
The abbreviations: it was a minor pet peeve, but the characters kept using abbreviations like TBH and BTW in actual, real life conversations. It just made me cringe inwardly a bit.
Ultimately, not my favourite John Green book, but still a really good read.
