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.

It was a pretty enjoyable book, but I had a few issues with it. Once Alaska died pudge got pretty annoying. And I get he was in love with her and that he wanted/needed answers but he became completely narrow sited into believing he was the only one who cared, and I don’t think anyone when they loose someone thinks like that. I do love how the book ended with the final essay for religion, that was very clever.
