Longtime nerdfighter here! This is technically a reread, I read it in three days the day I got my preorder in the mail, so fast that by the time I closed the cover I forgot what happened😂
This book is a wonderful representation of OCD (i assume, as someone who doesn’t have it.) It’s also just a wonderful representation of anxiety, and relates to a lot of mental health disorders. Because of that, I found it pretty hard to read at times, and was hurt by my relation to Aza more than it held me. However, I loved the Pickett mystery, and wish it took up more of the book.
Would recommend to anyone trying to understand their loved-ones OCD or anxiety better!

Cried a small.
Green has a supernatural (or maybe natural) to make the most beautiful, life-exploring stories out of tragedy.

Might be my favorite fiction from him, but Alaska is really close.

I'm glad this book exists so people can understand OCD a bit better.
Also there is just so many book references in this. That's such a John Green thing to do tbh
