• It’s funny to read this after having just recently finished Anthropocene Reviewed. It’s clear they were written in a similar time frame, and I feel like I know John Green a lot better than I expected to.
• I loved reading about Indianapolis. I’ve never read a novel set in a location I’m so familiar with. It’s a silly, inconsequential little city, but I love it for a lot of reasons. It’s clear Green does too.
The hard? the bad?:
•As the partner of someone with OCD, I’m familiar with empathizing with Aza. I thought I had a pretty clear understanding of what dealing with intrusive thoughts is like, but this book demonstrated how much more there is to understand.
• As the partner of someone with OCD, I hated Daisy. As a friend, I hated Daisy. As a girl, I hated Daisy. I’ve known some Daisys, and hell, I’ve been Daisy. Doesn’t make her less insufferable. Who makes YEARS of fanfics barely fasçading your “friend” as a useless burden and continues to call yourself her best friend? I don’t think she loves Aza as much as she loves having a friend who will listen to her talk about herself.
All in all, it’s heavy and hard to read, but good.

Part of Aza's OCD is continually checking this wound she has on her hand so there are quite a few descriptions of the injury/blood etc.bmhawk's review against another edition
