I was really disappointed with this book. As always with John Green's books, it starts out really exciting and funny, but the ending ruins it all. Maybe it's just the road-trip kind of book that's not really my style, but I keep thinking that there is a lot of buildup to nothing.
While this review may sound a bit harsh, it's not meant that way. I did have a great time reading it, it's not hard to read at all, and the situations are as realistic as possible. It's just the ending that I didn't like.
