Author - John Green Genre - Young-Adult No. of Pages - 304 Year of Publication - 2017 Rating - ❤️❤️ ❤️ Finally, that I have got my reading appetite back, how could I not read the latest John Green novel? I certainly had to. To be very honest, this book confused me a bit. If I look into the detailed and rather heart-felt description of the thoughts of an anxiety patient, Aza Holmes (the protagonist), I feel Green has given his best to it. No doubt, I could very well relate at some points because I also suffer from mild OCD symptoms. To a normal person, Aza might seem to be very crazy, but I could understand her thoughts and they didn't seem unnatural at all (even though bizarre). That is where Green never fails, the charactersq he creates are very relatable and mostly adorable, even though flawed in numerous ways. Aza's illness keeps on worsening throughout the book. At one point I felt like she would commit suicide and I so not wanted this to happen. For once, ...

Authors - Maureen Johnson, John Green, Lauren Myracle Genre - Young-Adult No. of Pages - 354  Year of Publication - 2008 Rating - ❤️❤️ This book is a triple-trouble. It is divided into three parts, actually three stories. The first part is written by Maureen Johnson, second part by John Green and third by Lauren Myracle. Picking up this book was a consequence of being a John Green fan, and the sad part is, I least liked his part (the second part of the book). Here is the short review: First Part - OK Second part - Kind of OK Third Part - OK The first story is about a girl named Jubilee, yes that's right. And I couldn't understand why was there so much of fuss about her name throughout the book.  Jubilee has to embark an unplanned journey to Florida when her parents are jailed for some riot at some stupid Flobie showroom, and she is bound to go because she has no other option. The train she boards stops at Gracetown and she can't go any forward because...

I really wanted to like this book after reading The Fault In Our Star s but I couldn't. I kept on reading it till the end with a flickering hope that I would find some twist or just something interesting, which I couldn't figure out. No twists, no turns. Just a straight story.

Fast forward nine years, both of them are nearing their high school graduation but have lost all contacts and then suddenly, one night Margo appears at Quentin's window. Margo has a plan. She wants to take revenge from the people who have used her or been untruthful or bitchy about her. She has the whole pl...

Author - John Green Genre - Young-Adult/Romance No. of Pages - 313 Year of Publication - 2012 Rating -❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ So, this book is one of those heartbreaking novels which will keep on breaking your heart every few pages and you still keep reading it collecting the pieces of your broken heart time and time again. I actually started my 'full-fledged' reading marathon from this book. It was the first novel that I read properly without giving up in the middle of it.  I just couldn't.  The characters that John Green has created are so so adorable, you can't not fall in love with them. As most people know this book revolves around two cancer patients who fall in love and the way they make life beautiful, something to be cherished, for each other. But the most important fact is that it's not just about cancer, it's much more. It includes travelling, laughing, crying, loving others and also yourself, and above all embracing life as it happens to be served on y...
