The Fault in Our Stars

[Sofia, duckish things]

Was this overrated? Should I read it? Is John Green's writing really pretentious?

It's pretentious af but I enjoyed it three years ago

Tell all of you a secret? I saw the movie, never read the book.😁

@Booktastically Never saw the movie, only read the book :)

I only watched the movie, so I didn't think it was necessary for me to read the book.

Never seen the movie, read the book years ago. I'll probably try it again at some point. I've read two John Green books (Looking For Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines) and didn't love either of them. Felt pretty lukewarm-leaning-negative towards LFA and really enjoyed AAoK but it's been two or three years since I read that one and so I don't remember much.
I didn't cry during this one though, but tbh I don't cry while reading, like, ever.

I just finished reading this. It was just okay. Very addictive, but also very pretentious.

i thought the book was a bit pretentious, but overall it was good. i first read it when i was eleven and it broke me emotionally
