As a Nerdfighter, Hannah Lindgren did her best to keep her film on the group from becoming “a John Green fangirl piece.” In the photo accompanying this story, she had no such obligation.

It was a busy day for Indy Reads Books; the new store had just opened this morning, and by 5 p.m., it was hosting a rare local reading by Indy author John Green.
