This was an interesting read; I went into it knowing practically nothing. I think this is a really reflective story of teenagers navigating high school, friendship, love, and grief. John Green does a great job communicating the impact a person has on other people no matter how big or small and the way he intertwined the story with learning and understanding different religions was genius. I only felt that the story was slow to read and at times the monologue felt repetitive.
