I liked it! I learned a lot about John and about his life but also about the world. Some essays were super interesting, some really not my thing. It moved me a lot in several parts and I did cry like, 4-5 times. The through line with the star reviews was nice, but it is a short story collection and maybe I just prefer Mr. Green's long story formats. Since I did very much enjoy myself though, it is a solid 4 stars. A good book club discussion book, just because of the small separate stories though!
