I've had Wintergirls on my shelf for two years now and still need to read it. Maybe I'll bump it up.

I went back to The Light Between Oceans which I'm liking more now, and also started Paper Towns, because it belongs to Ben's friend and she wants it back eventually. I'm a little surprised -- I'm not very far in yet, but Margo is striking me as a manic pixie dream girl with a bad attitude, and I'm not sure I like her.

Paper Towns is interesting because it sort of embraces the MPDG trope while also commenting on it. Part of the point of the book is that she's not a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, she's an actual person, which Quentin never saw her as until she was gone.

What P_C white fonted. Keep going with Paper Towns, it's surprisingly touching. Be warned: while reading Wintergirls you might find yourself having unusual issues with food. Thankfully that resolved as soon as I was done with it.

Oh, I'm definitely going to keep reading. Ben loved it, and I told him I would read it, but the difference between this book and The Fault in Our Stars is really noticeable. He's a little more aggressively *John Green* in this book.

I'm mixed on John Green. I loved The Fault in Our Stars and An Abundance of Katherines, and I thought Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns were okay. (And those two books are pretty similar.) And I liked Will Grayson, Will Grayson.

I thought Will Grayson, Will Grayson was overly twee. But I blame David Levithian for that.

I'm not even sure what twee means anymore.

I think having the big fat gay football player, in love every other minute with a new guy, write, direct and perform in a musical on his life is an affection that easily equals twee since it is meant to hit all of the sweet buttons. As you can tell, Will Grayson is certainly NOT my favorite.

Seriously, Kat? That sounds Glee!Ryan Murphy writing YA.

Oh. And did I mention that the nickname of the character, of course, is Tiny.

But yes. Seriously. I actively dislike David Leviathan books and it couldn't be saved by John Green.
