The best part of this book was when it was taking place in South Jersey (southern New Jersey, USA) because the author captured it so perfectly!!!

4.0

There were parts of this book that I didn’t find particularly engaging, but the themes were fascinating. I deeply enjoyed the topics that Green raised in the book, especially observations about what motivates people and how that affects how our society works. I appreciate the way Green makes his characters flawed, and how that isn’t always resolved in the ways that we want.
