Predictable plot. Relies heavily on the MPDG stereotype. Wasn’t a bad story and it was what I expected from early John Green but I’m intrigued to see where his writing has progressed with newer books

i really liked the plot, but it's just so obviously written by a man. i know john green said he intended for it to be that way, but it just makes it hard to get through. overall the plot is great but the writing is average.
