This book was a good reads recommendation, and I went into it blind after seeing its high ratings (the book itself is ratings..). It's one of those books I've experienced where after just a few pages, I immediately knew I had something good in my hands. I loved the concept of each chapter being a new subject, and being drawn into every story. This book was full of emotion. It was funny, thought provoking, and deeply personal. This is one on my shelf I will probably go back too down the road. 5 stars.

This book was amazing! John Green does such an amazing job of discussing humanity. This book was able to make me reflect, make me sad, horrified and smile. The book was written in part during the Covid lock down and hearing about that makes the book even better.

John Green is the most "normal" star I have ever heard share stories. He is relatable and shares things that not many are willing to share.
