I have a rule that if a book makes me cry it gets 5 stars. This didn’t make me cry, but it did make me want to punch Hank Green which is not a feeling I’m familiar with. I mean that in the best way possible. I didn’t see some of the plot twists coming. There are some absolute bangers of lines. The overall messaging is a 10/10. My only criticisms are it was sometimes a little dense to read because of how self aware it was (still very enjoyable, but sometimes it felt a little like work) and that I sometimes had trouble switching perspectives because I read a lot of it in Hank’s voice. I want everyone to read both books immediately so I have someone to talk to about this
