The Fault in Our Stars has been removed from the YA section in the suburbs of Indianapolis and is now considered a "book for adults." This is ludicrous. It is about teenagers and I wrote it for teenagers.
Teenagers are not harmed by reading TFIOS. This is such an embarrassment to the city of @FishersIN.

"How many languages do you speak?" question
My top two are white lies like "3. English, Hungarian, German" or "idk, but I've probably attended like 30-40 different courses"
Save the date:
