Honestly it's shockingly bad. Typical manic pixie dream guy archetype and a sad fat girl fall in love, also they both have cancer and are edgy nihilists because of it. And his prose is gross and the sex scene is underwhelming. It made me mad

Why do we call this kind of stuff "YA" fiction, as in young adult, when it's clearly aimed at teenagers. Shouldn't young adults be smart enough to read real shit that isn't just romanticising high school relationships?

Or am I simply misunderstanding the english "adult" as a word?

It’s a YA book so don’t expect writing above an 8th grade level but I enjoyed it.
I read it a year after I lost a lover to a sudden heart attack and I feel like this book helped me finally really cry it out. It put some complicated emotional issues into words in a relatable way when I wasn’t able to articulate what I was going through.
