This was okay. I like John Green's other books, and wanted to like this one too. But I just couldn't really connect with the characters - they both felt flat to me. They just came off sort of pretentious and shallow. The romance also didn't feel real to me. It was kind of cheesy and everyone stood and clapped. Parts of the plot were interesting - especially the "don't meet your heroes" bit. But the terminal illness parts seemed overall a bit sentimental and gratuitous (though admittedly, I don't have a lot of experience with that).
