This one is between 4.75-5 ☆ for me but I'm rounding up to 5. This is very well done and feels like classic John Green. It's not my favorite of his novels but it's definitely the most relatable for me and I would guess even more so for someone I love.
I think Aza is a far better developed character than the others and I actually didn't like Daisy as a person much. Davis seemed cool and I wish we had seen him and Noah in greater detail.
I really liked it and would recommend it. It wasn't perfect but it felt real and meaningful.

I read this because one of the featured poems of the collection was written on Jimin in his Set Me Free Pt.2 music video, and I was curious about the poet.
I really liked this collection and I think that particular poem (The book of a monks life, in the book of hours) was my favorite.
As with any time I read poetry, I don't appreciate all of it at the same level. I enjoyed most of it and I consider that a success.

I think it was an ok story but it was not easy to follow. There were too many underdeveloped characters. I also don't love the writing style.

I kinda started reading this ironically but then got wayyy too into it. Definitely cried.
This is hilariously ridiculous but also one of the deepest webtoons ever?? Like what does it even mean to be good or bad and why is existence something to fight for?
Would recommend and I will definitely be checking out all of the authors series.

Adorable and very binge-able: exactly how I like my romance webtoons.
I love the art style and the characters are hilarious. Jia is a little bit infuriating sometimes, and they're both acting like teenagers who have never had a crush before. But it's cute.
This is an 80 episode first season and the second season has just started being released. I'll probably wait a bit and come back to read the second season once more of it is out.
