It’s good. But it’s corny (ik why). And I feel like the whole cancer thing was just used as a plot device, like I feel like this didn’t really go into living with cancer. There were some points which were enlightening (ig thats the word), but idk.

I don’t have cancer though, so who am I to speak on their behalf


I also didn’t like their relationship. Like it was kinda sad when Augustus died but he made me cringe. He was so ‘unhuman’. Like I can’t imagine a real person being like him.
Also van Houten in the end took me out of it. Him in the van was some cheap Disney type of humor to not make us too sad
