What I Would Do if I Met John Green

My love of reading has been, after that insane rambley post last time, rekindled.

It's John Green to the rescue once again.

My love for John Green is insatiable, so much so that I mention him in every other post on this blog. I love his YouTube channel with his brother, I love his books, and I love the charity work he does.

Now that I've read Will Grayson Will Grayson, I have one more reason to love him (and David Levithan, for that matter).

There's a simple reason people love John's novels; he treats all his characters as complex, three dimensional characters. You get to see every side of every character he writes. With Will Grayson, Will Grayson, he topped everything I've seen him do before. 

I love every single character in this book. I see myself in Tiny, and Will Grayson #1. I see a small part of myself in Jane, and even the other Will Grayson. All of these characters are supremely relatable.

I had to stop reading this book a few times just to think about how much these characters seemed to connect to me, and what lessons I could take from the lessons they learned. This book made me think about my own life, which is what I think ultimately all books should strive for. 5/5 stars, go pick it up at Chapters. Jesus, I love this book.

It's easy to see my boundless admiration for John Green. I'd totally marry this guy if he proposed. To hell with being straight. So what would I do if I ever got a chance to meet him?

1. Of course I'd need a picture. I'd snap so many damn pictures I'd be a one man paparazzi.
2. I'd promptly start blabbering my praises so that it became extremely awkward and the poor man would be embarrassed beyond measure.
3. A few minutes later, I'm sure someone would drag me away before I could finally bring myself to propose.

... Yeah, it wouldn't be good.

Thanks for reading,
