Question is: do audiobooks hit some instinctual emotional center of my brain in a way paper books don't, or do I just have a knack for picking audiobooks that will undo me completely?
Because this one... I'd heard it described as a "big gay book," plus half of it was written by John Green, and so that's guaranteed awesome right there. But I did not realize it would be atriple quadruple emotional whammy for me: focusing on issues of friendship, gayness, depression, and the internet, in approximately that order.
It's an amazing book. But I kind of feel like I've been hammered.
