I must be in the minority of those who didn't care for this book. I read it because my ten year old daughter asked to read it. The messages that this book gives young people bothered me about love and sex. I did think the author captured the dark humor that comes with having a terminal illness. Suffice it to say I told my daughter I would put it away until she was old enough to read it.

John Green takes us on a journey of terminal illness and coming of age. The dialogue alone in this story is worth the read. The characters are deep and funny and very relatable at certain points. Be warned, this is a heartbreaker and you will feel all the feels but it is so well done it's a good one to read multiple times.
