good YA read submitted by manz on April 30, 2013, 2:54pm Not John Green. Not "The Fault in Our Stars." Not that it's supposed to be. There have been comparisons. This one is a good read on its own. It's funny and warm and the characters are believable.

Nice submitted by jessicazhang on June 16, 2015, 3:17pm It's a good, real, read. Excited to see the movie!

Honest and funny submitted by Justin Shim on June 16, 2017, 5:42pm It's not like other books that have to do with similar problems, like the Fault in our Stars. It's not about love or romance, but about just being friends. It feels much more realistic, and trying to understand other people from a seemingly normal perspective. It is a hilarious story yet so honest, and an amazing, yet simple(ish) story.

good read submitted by mrondo on June 17, 2017, 9:51pm At first I was annoyed that the book was moving slowly and not much was happening, but once I realized that was the point it became a genius novel.

Amazing submitted by EmeBer on July 14, 2019, 9:45am I loved this book so much and I believe that the book is better rhan the movie like most books that also have movies.
