I have to knock off a little something because this book is so pretentious and earnest it's frankly ridiculous, but I love it. So much. I first read TFIOS at around Hazel's age, and over a decade later, it's still special to me. Sometimes my brain doesn't let me see the beauty in this world, and John Green reminds me to look for it, even when it's almost unbearably hard and annoying to do so.
