Sometimes you want to escape adulthood and pretend you’re the intended YA audience for a little bit. This did have some of John Green’s magic, with quirky characters, literary references, and surprisingly heavy topics for teenagers. I like how Green doesn’t talk down to his audience or try and shelter them too much from reality. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of patience for manic pixie dream girls anymore, and our main character’s obsession with her was rather tiresome.
