"This is one of my favorite books of all time. When I first read it, it was the only story I'd ever seen about coping with loss that didn't revolve around faith in a creator or a higher power. This book isn't atheist by any stretch, but religious faith is a peripheral part of Green's journey. It's a quick read, but has characters that stick with you. I highly recommend this book. #loss #growth #copingskills "
