It’s weird how you just inevitably bond with some books, although you perhaps didn’t even enjoy them. I think it’s the same thing that happened to me after reading Catcher in the Rye, where I kind of absolutely hated all of the characters, hated what happened in general in the book and didn’t even enjoy the writing style very much. However, it still made me emotional for whatever reason and that’s why I bonded with it. 

In conclusion, cishet teenage boys suck, just like the book itself, but I am somehow able to still feel empathy for them, which also sucks since I would rather prefer to be a cold asshole with no emotions. 

The three stars are just because that’s the middle ground for me and I don’t know what else to do.

This was my first John Green novel (I know!) and I kinda loved it. The story pulled me in, I had a solid love/hate with the characters, and it totally hit me in the feels in the best way.

    This book is incredible. I absolutely adore how John Green describes things; his characters are very believable as well. I can create a vivid image of each event and each emotion displayed. The story itself is funny and heart-wrenching all the same. I love the recurring theme created by one of the protagonists and how it ties in at the very end. This is one of the best books that I have read so far this year.

I think if i would’ve read this when I was around 14 years old I think I would’ve really loved this book, but I see the point that John green was trying to make like every single character was romanticized and for his first book this was actually not bad, I did feel empty and sick when the thing with Alaska happened but i didn’t cry i genuinely thought something more than that will happen but it didn’t, Lara deserved better.
