This book crippled me emotionally. I was clutching at things in desperation because of the plot twists, rolling around on the bed because of all the fluff and I cried about half a dozen times. The character development was phenomenal. I really related to one of the secondary characters and that helped me think about myself and my actions and goals.
All in all, 10/10 would recommend, hats off to Kiera Cass!!!

I thought it was really interesting and I related to the fact that people hear only what they want to hear, choosing to ignore what you say and the truth because it 'doesn't fit' with their expectations if reality. I liked how Mara became more badass by the end of this book and I can't wait for the next one

Really liked it, especially the fact that Don's approach to life is very disconnected and clinical, describing everything as it is, not how it should be. 

Climbed its way to the top of my favorites list, beating even Fangirl, which has fanfiction!
This book was about an awkward girl, though it's not plainly stated, it seems like she also has depression, which is understandable, considering her dad died and her friends abandoned her. She is very geeky, in the best way. She is a programmer and a hacker, who makes one of the best apps and popularizes it with the help of her cousin, a blogger.
I loved the book mainly because of all the foreshadowing, which you kinda feel that is out of place in the text but makes SOOOOOOO much sense later on. The plot twists were completely unexpected and made me gasp out loud in school and on public transport, which would have been kind of embarrassing, had I not been immersed in the text.
I noticed some correlation between TBA and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This novel was Frankenstein-esque in the way that she created something that was supposed to be better for society, but it bit her in the ass in the end (well, middle-ish.
I would recommend it to anyone who is familiar with tumblr-esque humor and enjoys reading YA.
