Slow start and middle, but by 3/4 of the way through, I was invested. The conversations are unrealistic. I've never met people who quote poetry as much as these characters do - and it's almost EVERY character. But the metaphors are beautiful and touching and I felt Aza's anxiety and OCD was portrayed well. The missing billionaire seemed more like an unnecessary side plot; especially when Aza herself says "no, mom - my worsening mental health has had nothing to do with the money." So... Why is this a part of the book if it has no influence on your mental health? The whole mystery didn't actually seem to affect Aza at all. It just gave her a reason to have a boy crisis. Overall: beautiful metaphors and great portrayal of anxiety. Not much plot or realism.

Cried a small.
Green has a supernatural (or maybe natural) to make the most beautiful, life-exploring stories out of tragedy.
Top 10 mental illness narratives (I haven't read thr Bell Jar yet)
Might be my favorite fiction from him, but Alaska is really close.

i was really not sure if i should actually give this 5 stars. objectively the story itself is not a perfect 10/10. but i just loved the book so much and finished it in one day. my heart felt heavy and warm while reading and this book feels so unexpectedly special to me. idk why and idk how to explain what i am feeling.
i already read it in 2019 but basically forgot everything. i just remember really liking it then, too.
i already want to re-read it again, but in english this time.
