Two reasons why i've been wanting to read this.
1. To join the bandwagon
2. Raved by a lot of booklovers
And, oh third reason, there's a movie coming out and i wanna see it.
I ended up giving five stars at Goodreads. My mind fixed to four stars when i was in the middle to nearly three-fourths of the book. But dang! The last part was....gaaaaaahhhh!
I was expecting this to be a heavy read given the circumstance of the two protagonists. The beginning of the book and most part where light, filled with humor and wit and i had LOL moments reading it. But going through the last part of it was bittersweet. OMG, i did cry. I cried because it is painful to lose someone so dear. [And maybe because i was thinking of my lost love (not that he died)].
This is my first John Green and this was beautifully written.
And Gus. Charming. Witty. Smart. Sweet. Who wouldn't fall?
