John Michael Green changed and ruined some hearts with his novels. He made his readers love, hope, wonder, cry and shatter all at once. Most of us met Mr. Green with his sixth book, The Fault in Our Stars in 2012. And some crazy people like me have read all 6 of them. My favorite and his first book, Looking for Alaska.
He has announced the seventh one, Turtles all the way down, due to release on October 10, 2017 (*squeals in excitement).
On his 40th birthday, allow me to inflict a little pain on you for it demands to be felt.
It breaks my heart to think, Miles would never know the last words of Alaska Young
Truer words were never said. Books are always there to hold me when I need them
Though you have the liberty to choose what’s remarkable for you, just like Colin Singleton
And that’s how you know what matters to you the most.
Sometimes without even a chance to say goodbye!
It’s not about who you miss at 3 am when you are alone, but who you miss at 3 pm when surrounded by people.
And yet how often we commit this treacherous mistake.
With time, your story of what happened keeps changing.
A book like Looking for Alaska, have you read it?
Mine is, “When I look at my room, I see a girl who loves books” -Looking for Alaska
Now that I have felt the pain of Hazel, Augustus, Alaska, Colin, Miles, Will, Margo, and Quentin. I am ready for some more.
