The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
I very rarely cry. This book made me heave with sobs. On an airplane. In public. It’s that good. Movie: did not make me cry in public. That’s all I will say.

The Best of Me
THEY’RE ALL THE SAME. This time I didn’t even bother with the book. My final verdict: meh.

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
Hilarious; scandalous and hopeful. The movie is on Canadian Netflix right now. It adheres pretty closely to the book, but it is decidedly less awesome than the book. Watch it only if you want to read subtitles for 85% of the movie.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
