A very powerful and captivating read. John Green’s sarcastic writing style captures exactly what it feels like to be a hormonal teenager. His ability to touch on sensitive topics with such ease allows a reader to feel things so viscerally right along with the characters. This was the first YA romance novel I ever picked up, and because of how emotional it was, it took me months to finish. It has mature themes such as sex, drug use, and alcohol, but it is definitely a book you should read if you’re a teenager or you’ve ever been a teenager. I rate it 4 stars.
