Ratings and reviews

While reading i was literally enjoying it was even in a reading slump nd it was good but the ending was very shallow or not very memorable and its really happens nothing in the end nothing achivment ....anyway it was a good book intresting

LFA is a coming of age story told by a gawky teenage boy. It's infinitely relateable and equally quotable due to John Green's fantastic literary talents.

It's a perfect blend of high school romance, friendships, mischievous characters and extreme sandness. It's kind of rollercoaster of emotions you go through while reading the book. You just fall in love with Alaska Young as you get to know more and more of her, I don't really intend on giving any spoiler but I'll just say "go for it".
