What a great book! I loved it because it was original, insightful, and creative. The material John Green wrote about letting everybody be who they are, because they will never be perfect and they will never be you, really made me think. I loved the characters in this book, they were interesting and different, and most of all, they were real. I feel like this story is only giving me a glimpse of a true story, that’s how real the characters are. This is a great read for anyone who likes a highly intuitive, romance, and adventure book!
