I can’t just write a review of this that is, speaking generously, 92% me quoting the book and being like “hahaha can you believe this is just a normal average sentence in this totally real book.” (Although there will be a lot of that because HOW CAN I RESIST. (Never thought I’d be disappointed by something differing from The Fault in Our Stars!!) This is, unfortunately, not a The Fault in Our Stars type situation.
