doesn't John Green use the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope in all of his books
Manic-depressive pixie dream girl is a more accurate description of the cases in his books. I've only found it in LFA and Paper Towns so far (probably since TFiOS is narrated by a girl) but I won't be surprised if An Abundance of Katherines includes it too.
well in The Fault in Our Stars it's like "hello I am Augustus Waters. I am attractive cancer boy who speaks in metaphors so that makes me smart. Let me ride in on my prosthetic-legged white horse and whisk you away to Amsterdam since I have not used my Cancer Wish."
tho at least he didn't go Walk to Remember on the cancer kids and characterize them as psuedo-saints. they were flawed, but too much of the book was beyond my suspension of disbelief.
i hate when writers do that. it's okay to give the kids with cancer flaws
