I see a lot of similar characters/ideas/themes? in here and An Abundance of Katherines (my first John Green novel, this being my second). 
 It was kind of annoying that Alaska was made out to be this super awesome person. I know that each individual is unique and she has her problems and whatnot, and novels are ordinarily supposed to follow the lives of ordinary people so I'm not supposed to complain about her being "ordinary", but viewing everything from Mile's perspective just over-glorifies her throughout her book (when we could clearly see her flaws) to be the point of urgh. 
 I don't know. As with most other readers, I am prevented from fully enjoying this book because I've grown out of it.
