4.5 but rounding up because i'm trash over peter kavinsky and just REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK OKAY now leave me alone to cry

Four stars because I was fangirling so hard??
To be fair it did take things a bit too far at parts and whereareallthewomenimeandamnit but it deserves the extra star for the sheer force of my near constant grin at all the literary references and characters and mentions and beauty of it all.
(also: HAHAHA CALLED IT)

2.5 stars, maybe, but it felt like a chore to read this book sometimes, and i didn't really warm up to any of the main characters, not even at the end. I felt it took the easy way out on a lot of things.
