This has been one of the only John Green books I have managed to get through with minimal complaints or eye-rolls. I've seen a lot of the negative reviews mentioning that "teenagers don't talk like that" and to that i'd just like to say that while many may not, not every teenager speaks the same way, some are capable of using words with multiple syllables and the characters sound like people I would have like to have known in high school. So it's not completely unbelievable to me. The book deals with first love and unavoidable reality very well and I thoroughly enjoy reading it .
