There is not a single book where death does not play a part. I don't think there is a single protagonist that excels at sports in his books, that is generally left for the people the protagonist dislikes. Despite this disdain and aversion to exercise they'll end up doing something physical (in Hazel's case it's just climbing up stairs). The protagonist is not allowed to be enthusiastic about running. Also, the love interest must be in a relationship doomed to fail, or have had a doomed relationship in the past. This character can be present from the start but the friendship they have has to have a large change in the beginning as the catalyst for this desire (in Paper Towns Q already knows Margo, but it is not until years later, after they haven't talked in ages, that his interest in her is reinvigorated and the story revolves around it). Their main source of interaction or desire stems from someone they percieve to be cooler and more interesting than them, which becomes a romantic love interest for the protagonist. The protagonist and narrator is (usually male except in The Fault in Our Stars) introverted, socially awkward, and has limited friends. There are some recurring themes and kinds of characters that you can see in pretty much every John Green book. I haven't read Will Grayson, will grayson, co-authored by David Levithan yet so I'm going to stick to ones he's the sole author of (they are in order, Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and The Fault in Our Stars).

John Green is the best selling author of nearly half a dozen young adult novels. So in case you accidentally don't pay too much attention I'll put it in bold caps: SPOILER WARNING FOR JOHN GREEN BOOKS. Well if you don't like spoilers then it goes without saying you shouldn't read this.
