So far I've only read The Fault in Our Stars, and my reading pile is large enough that I'm not sure I'll get to any of the others this year, but I'm really looking forward to it. I like his style of writing.
Yes the fantasy v. romance thing also ties into the boy books v. girl books thing which also makes me want to rage at everyone who tries to defend the separateness. It is marketing which books for women and books for men a thing, and stupid society not getting the fact that a book is a book and the fact that someone wants to read it is fantastic and they should NEVER be belittled or in any way because they chose to read something not traditionally marketed to them. For fuck's sake the fact people are reading is a good thing, let them do it in peace without policing what they choose to read because of its genre.
