Although I was initially not pleased with this novel, I will say that it was well written and humorous. It was interesting to see how the two authors switched off every other chapter and still created a flowing story. Usually I am not a big fan of duel perspective novels because if I come across a good point and then it perspective switches, I have to wait until the other perspective comes back and it is irritating. However other than the novel being written well, I did not enjoy this book. I felt that there was no plot or climax to this story. And instead I was reading about winey teenagers and their high school problems. However, the book did have a happy ending, but there was nothing that really lead up to that point. Because of that, I was surprised by the ending, yet it still gave no hint as to what the central plot was. I like John Green’s other books, but this was not one of his best. Therefore I give this story 2.5 out of 5 stars.
