This was really freaking good. Damn, Green writes some great characters!

╰⪼ Real, raw and unfiltered.
The beauty of this story is that it doesn't hide anything. It showcases what young love and growing up really are in a brutal and honest light. How the characters communicate, their relationships with each other, their pasts and the pleasure that comes with being a bad kid shines through the pages.
I might actually prefer this book to The Fault in Our Stars... Idk, the jury is still out on that one lol.
This is a book of grief, friendship, escapes and life. It’s dark, and romantic. Thought provoking, character driven tale of Alaska and Miles. The ending will leave you heartbroken.
You might not sob out buckets like most readers did at the end of The Fault in Our Stars, but you'll get attached to Miles and Alaska, just as they do to each other.

@cherie thank you lovely babes 🤍💐
wdym with great characters? almost all of them are really bland characters that are not deep at all and hard to relate to.Also is not romantic, this is not a romance book, Miles didn’t loved Alaska (even though he claims that) he just loved the idea of her, he just idealized her. But never loved her as a person. Also he was a creep that was always thinking about having sex with her “friend”? the “romance” was one sided because Alaska maded it clear she wasnt in love with him.
Its a pretty common book with some wannabe good characters that just because they are “quirky” all of you dumbass thinks they’re great

Imagine being the type of person that comes on someone else's review sounding drunk and delulu shoving their opinions on to other people over a book that's many years old. Sounds like a real gem of a person...

I only have one John green book left until I've read them all. I decided to binge them this last year. They are always such a comfort read, takes me back to middle school.
