I read The Fault in our Stars and Looking for Alaska when I was a teen and I absolutely loved them. I feel like had I read this book when I was younger I probably would have enjoyed it more but as an adult this book just didn’t speak to me. The characters weren’t really believable in the way that actual teenagers act and speak and Margo was kind of insufferable to me. There were a few insightful quotes and the book was okay overall, but wasn’t super worth the read for me. I’ll be donating this one.
