This is the only John Green book I've read and I didn't like it. He's basically Nicholas Sparks for YA but for some reason gets critical acclaim because he's male?

[squirrels_oh_no]

Manic pixie dreamgirls are still a thing as are the idea of a quirky white man being the voice of a generation

He's like the male Sarah Dessen but her books are just "fluff" ok whatever

i remember this book and john green (in general) being so popular on tumblr. i hated nerdfighters and their stupid vlogs, fandom etc lol

[beaucadeau]

why does this boring story have to be a series????

[lawofcosines]

it failed to get a film adaptation lol

[beaucadeau]

they clearly ran through that stop sign

This looks fanmade and about half the people can’t act. It also makes me extremely embarrassed that I ever had affection for this novel. Wow I was a pretentious teen

we've all been there. i ugly cried during The Fault In Our Stars.

edit: if it make you feel any better i didn't read anything but non-fiction and "classics" so i was snobby about my books too lol

everything about his books and the movies that follow are so pompous and mixed with the manic pixie girl trope. It's always like here is a teen with like a reading level and knowledge of a college classic lit major.
