Initially a bit hard to get into because of the cheesy dialog between teenaged characters, the book redeems itself in its incredible exploration of grief and mental illness. John Green is an expert at utilizing metaphors to create a more nuanced resolution to the plot. I would recommend this book to those who wish to explore their relationship with their own mind.
