I went to the bookstore today and I bought my first John Green book. It is proof that I cannot go into a bookstore and not come out with a book. I am so afraid to read it. I want to like John Green a lot, but what if I hate the book (I bought Looking for Alaska)? I should have just bought Maureen Johnson’s new book.
