This book is the first in a very very long time that I have finished in a day and has left me with a soul deep feeling of peace and a brain full of thoughts. Two things that by definition cannot go together. 

I don’t know how it took me so long to read this as a life long John Green fan but I deeply regret that I had not read this particular collection of words sooner. John did what he has always done well - balanced impeccable descriptions of teenage awkwardness with soul destroying grief. Perfection.

Its a really good book. I liked that the characters were not written to be love able but in some parts i hated them. (Miles was just annoying 99% of the time tho). It contains topics that might be triggering so make sure to check the tw before you read it.
