It’s true that Green’s books are about teenagers, that they’re often sad, and that they can be self-indulgent - but they’re self-indulgent in their sadness in the way that teenagers are self-indulgent about their own adolescent angst: innocently, as if they are unaware there could be another way to feel. ![]() He hooks himself into the questions that consume adolescence - Who am I?
