Somehow John Green always finds the perfect words. I don???t know how he does it. He just seems to be magically able to explain emotions and specific feelings. I have almost nothing in common with Aza and somehow I don???t think I have ever related to a character more. They way her thoughts overwhelm her. She can???t control what she thinks.
In the beginning I was concerned it would be one of those books where the main character keeps secrets from the ???love interest??? and then it falls apart because of it. But I shouldn???t have. It was brilliant how everything happened. Not overly dramatic, but the exact right amount of stuff going on.
I found it really interesting how Aza feels like she isn???t in control, like she isn???t real. Like a million things are deciding what she does instead of her deciding for herself. Which is a thing that many people actually struggle with and have trouble with. But at the same time she isn???t real. She???s a character in a book.
Edit: I talked about this book with a friend of mine and I agree with his insight. It seems that all Green's books are the same. It's always a person that is weird or mentally ill in some way. Then one falls in love with the other and about 2/3 of the way in the books something terrible happens/ is revealed. Of course I still liked the book but it does take away some of it. I mean I did anticipate the big reveal. So I am deducting a star..
