I know this is sort of a medley of random songs, but this is the playlist I made for TFiOS. You may disagree on it, and if you really want me to explain why I picked a certain song, go for it. I have no problem explaining. I loved the book very deeply, and it was natural for me to find songs that I felt fit.

One of the things I loved most about this novel was John Green's ability to capture what it feels like to love someone and to lose someone. There were many experiences in the novel I could not relate to. But if you've ever loved someone, you can agree with me that John Green expressed it perfectly. I cried for at least an hour straight while reading this book. Do you know why? His words, his story, and his characters were so real that I felt like I was losing someone I love. When someone writes, sings, or makes a film or TV series about love and they do it right, I can't help but relate. I can't help but deeply feel, while I am reading it, the feelings of love I have for someone else and how I would feel/have felt in whatever situation is being portrayed. Losing the person I love is no exception, and some of the few things that never fail to make me cry in fiction (if portrayed well) are losing a best friend, a soul mate, or a close family member.

If anyone really wants to know my whole feelings on this point, I may make a post later. I may write a full review and post it on my tumblr, lisamarieskeys.tumblr.com. Or you can just ask me and we can discuss it. I love discussing books. Currently, Seth and my friend Elise are still in the process of reading it, and I know they will give me full opinions prior.

I finished off a box of tissues and had to take off my glasses because I was crying so much by the end of the book. To me, though, it wasn't so much that I was relating to the characters and their feelings; it was more of the possibility of what happened in the book happening in my own life. I put the book down (with about twenty or so pages left) and spent a good five minutes crying just over the possibility of having someone I love die-- I literally (ha) had to immediately talk to my girlfriend before I could finish reading the book just to ensure myself that she was still there.

As I like to put it, John Green is a sadistic genius when it comes to writing.
