Easily one of my favorite reads of this year.  A little long winded at times, but still so captivating. This is one of the first books in a long time that actually shocked me

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!!!

i don't really have any comprehensive thoughts on this book at the moment—i just know that i love it and that i love hank green and that i especially love hank green's utter love of humanity and what makes us humans. it was a deeply loving book and i'm going to miss this duology a lot.
