* Meta: Creator/JohnGreen once told a story about a time when he saw someone finishing this book while he was waiting in an airport. He sat nearby, anxiously waiting to see what they thought of the book and whether they'd realize the author was nearby. When the person finished the book and closed it, they stared into the middle distance for a few moments, then got up, dropped the book in the trash, and went back to their seat. Welp.

The actual quote was more along the lines of \"the only teenage girl in America who enjoys reading poetry more than writing it.\" I think it\'s a dig at teenagers who write crappy poetry.


* On a meta-level, Gus praising Hazel for being [[MarySue special and unique]] because she is (according to him) the only teenager in America that ''reads'' becomes this when you consider the fact that he says so in a book written for girls Hazel's age.
