Looking for Alaska by John Green

2.0

---

I originally rated this book three stars but that was really because I felt pressure to like it like everyone else but unfortunately I think it is more of a one or two star. I think I definitely read this book too late. I couldn’t get over the objectification and sexualization of Alaska by the main character and the fact that he doesn’t even really know her but is just obsessed with his version of her. There is also cheating in this book as well as something else that is a major plot point that I will not spoil but that triggered me almost to the point of giving up on this book. I think the only reason I even finished it was because I was interested in the tv adaptation.
