re-reading this as an adult, it’s very easy to say that it was meant for the young teenage version of myself. good book overall, with an important message. john green really likes to write unreliable narrators, which makes for a interesting dynamic between the reader and the book.

Loved this book so much, the description and how Alaska seemed real to me. Pudge is kinda annoying and sees Alaska and Lara how they hate women to be percieced and hes also a bit selfish but overall a good character. Love how the ending was open to interpretation of whether Alaska committed suicide or if it was an accident and ome of my all time favourite parts was when the colonel and pudge went to where the crash was.

I liked this book a lot and will hopefully re-read it soon and annotate it. It is the perfect mix of coming of age and still not too cliché.

I loved this book, although

it does have a sex scene that may be uncomfortable to some readers

Probably one of my top 20 books that I read in high school. I reread it often and enjoy it every time. Love the Hulu adaptation of this book as well.
