this wasn’t the book for me. i‘m not sure why though.
i liked aza as a character but daisy was the absolute worst. the characters felt a little flat and i don’t have an opinion about most of them.
the story? boring. i didn’t enjoy the mystery or the relationship that developed between davis and aza because of said mystery.
the ocd representation was a lot sometimes so definitely check the tw but as far as i can judge it it was good representation.

Typical John Green writing. Very profound, intellectually and emotionally challenging. Weirdly relatable in some ways, completely alien in others. Read in one sitting.

i just liked it. there were a lot of quotes and moments i liked but nothing i really loved. when i first read this book i loved it with capitalization and punctuation and a full emphasis on love, which was great since i was 13 and was struggling with mental health issues. but now that i know enough and i know more to fully understand and criticize the characters, it was hard to get myself invested when i couldnt be complacent with how the story was. i think part of that is because this was my summer reading and the other half is that the last john green book i read i really hated. if you dont criticize what youre reading and let yourself get lost, thisll be great for you! but if youre like me then you wont start loving it until the end

This was cute. I didn’t feel super emotionally invested in the characters or what was happening, but I had a decent time reading this and will probably watch the movie when it comes out. Maybe at 23 I just can’t appreciate YA anymore. The depictions of OCD thought spirals and mental health struggles were really brilliant, and the rest was fine. 🤷🏼‍♀️
