🚨 FIRST AND FINAL WARNING: MILD SPOILERS AHEAD! 🚨
This past weekend, the long-awaited adaptation of John Green's Looking For Alaska was FINALLY released.
Besides refuelling all of my ~teen angst~, the series had a killer soundtrack that ended up being the perfect backdrop to all the drama and romance.
And, of course, Twitter quickly responded to the show's release with some A+ commentary. Here are the best reactions:
1.
