5By kaybae143This is a wonderful novel and felt like one I as a 22 year old could relate too. I loved the whole journey that they went through. The ending was a shocker and I teared up a few times during the read. Loved every second of it!Fantastic!

5By emmagemaYou know those movies or books that are so good you don't want to watch or read another one because you know it will never live up to that movie or book? This is one of those books. I haven't read in a long time, but I got an urge to read and I'm so glad I picked this book! It's Ana amazing book I can't imagine who wouldn't like this book I defiantly recommend 10/10 even if you don't like reading. I usually don't do these reviews but this book totally deserves it! The characters are so relatable and you defiantly fall in love with them. Half way through there is a plot twist that made me put down the book but after a few hours I had to go back to it! Can't explain how much I love this book just read it! I promise it's so worth it😍❤️Best, Most Artfully Written Novel
5By RachelAshworthJohn Green absolutely outdid himself with this novel. YA Lit has seemed to fall into gimmicky stories in the past several years, but every word of this book was beautiful. As I read I could not believe I was reading a modern YA novel by a fairly young author. It was just beautiful.Ugh
1By alexxpowersTerrible book.Pulls you in
5By Laurenbet92I'm not an avid reader. I'll probably pick up a book every few months and hope to finish. But for me, this book had me hooked from the very beginning. It took me about a half day to read yet had me thinking for days later. I don't want to go into full detail about what happens, but just know you won't regret making this purchase. Well worth the money, and highly recommended in my opinion.Lipstick17
