I always enjoyed and connected with John's books growing up, and I am happy to report that the teen angst in me still recognizes the teen angst in John Green. Reading this book after having spent the last few years really engaging with his content on other platforms (YouTube, podcasts, TikTok's, etc) really allowed me to see his personality shine through in this book, much in the same way I felt Hank's personality shine through in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.

I related greatly to Aza, having struggled with undiagnosed OCD in my childhood, a lot of what Aza describes is all too familiar to me. I do think John's books all follow a pretty similar plot pattern, so the plot wasn't anything groundbreaking, but the overall tone of the book and the complications of trying to understand yourself in a world that by all appearances is out to get you resonated enough with me that I really enjoyed this read.
