it was still pretty good tho


message 2: by Morgan (new)

Morgan (morgan_mantovani) It wasn't something I would read again, but it was ok. I can't really remember it so I can't say much more than my review at the time which I'll copy down below:
Rating: 3.8 stars
I didn't realize Alaska was a person before I started reading the book lol.
The countdown as chapters made the book more engaging which is always appreciated :) It also stressed me out but that's whatever.

I agree. It's up to par whereas everyone seems to love it.

yeah, I expected too much of the book. Because of that I didn't really enjoy it even tho it was a good book.

Melanie  (happysadmel) I love this book, i haven't read it in a while so idk what i think about it now but its one of my favs.
Its my favorite john green book.
i think people are a little to critical of miles character tbh. Sure its the male gaze or whatever but i think people forget that its written from a naive teenage boys p.o.v.

I agree with you! It's his flaws that make him Miles...

brihanna It's my favourite John Green book, and there's a show too which i watched first and I loved it!! I really liked the adventures and quotes in the books esp made by Alaska, she's a book person too which is amazing :))

I just didn't like how Miles(or the author) would describe Alaska in the book, but that was pretty much it :)
