But that's as much praise as I'm willing to give
This book is really good for what it sets out to be: A YA novel by the author of The Fault In Your Stars. So if you liked that book, you'll probably like this one. As a matter of fact, I think I liked it more.
A sweet and easy listen-through. Better than [book:Looking for Alaska|99561] but nothing to write home about.
Picked this up after my precocious 11-year-old finished it. A fun, wise, and kind read.
So, this is my third attempt at reading this book. I read the first few chapters in those original attempts, and I was never able to connect, but for some reason it really DID this time. I loved the characters. I laughed, I cried, I smiled… The math related stuff I still sort of skimmed over, but I really did enjoy the novel.
Funny, smart, and wonderful.
