I just finished my 3rd read of this collection of essays, and it‘s still 5 🌟 for me. This has become a comfort read over the years. I feel my worldview and mental health struggles are similar to Green‘s, and these essays really speak to me. He wrote these essays in 2020/2021, so there is a lot of talk about Covid, so just be aware of that‘s triggering for you.

I hadn't heard of this one of John Green's until my school picked it as the year's common book. So glad they chose it! It was a fantastic read!

I‘m so glad this book was chosen for my book club bc it was not on my radar & I loved it! It‘s part memoir/part nonfiction, & I listened to the audiobook, which was great. I connected w/ him an a lot of things & kept pausing to go look up certain pieces of art mentioned, or pull up Spotify & listen to a song he talked about. He wrote this during the pandemic, so that brought a whole other level of intensity to some of the chapters.
