so damn good

John Green has a special talent for breaking my heart, healing it, and then breaking it again. This book is genius.

Took off a star for comma splices tbh THERE WERE SO MANY

As beautifully written as the short stories in this book were, I could not bring myself to like it. It was heartwrenching and disturbing in a painfully realistic way. I grew attached to the characters, and I was frustrated when I couldn't see their growth beyond a chapter. This writer has talent, but her first novel was just too disjointed and sad for me to properly enjoy.
