1.5

The two things I liked about this book were 1. the characters and 2. the portrayal of ocd (esp considering it's written by green, who has ocd). 
Otherwise I did not like much else. The pacing wasn't good; it did not pull me in like most books. I hated the ending. Also, the whole side plot (that is advertised to be the main plot in the summary) was lowkey unnecessary and could have just not been included. Or it could have just not been advertised as the main plotline.
