I really loved this! This is so wonderfully quintessential coming-of-age; I love the characters (especially Hassan), the wit/humor, and the classic John Green intelligence in the writing. The only reason I can’t rate this as 5 is because the moral about mattering and whatnot fell as bit flat, and had to be stated out-right in the epilogue. Nevertheless, it’s simple and sweet and very enjoyable.
