I put off reading this book for so long and I wish I hadn't. For some reason, I thought it was about something completely different. It was a really good read and I finished it in just a few days (which is fast for me). I really enjoyed and related to Alaska and the other characters.

The first half of this book was decent but it wasn’t anything special. I’ve never been one to care too much for the “nerdy guy falls for non conformist girl and has his life changed by her”, but I enjoy John greene’s writing style so I decided to give it a try and keep going anyway.

When the second half of the book hit, I was fully invested. I felt the emotions of the character and them trying to wrap their emotions around what had happened. I felt connected to the remaining cast and I felt myself siding with the colonel telling Pudge off for pretending he was the only one that cared for her while simultaneously siding with pudge for wanting to believe that he truly understood his friend and love interest.

Overall, the book a very interesting read. I think if I read this when I was younger I would’ve enjoyed it a lot more, but it’s still a really good book I’d recommend to anyone wanting a book about realizing what it means to escape the labyrinth.
