This book left me speechless so many times...
The characters were amazing!
The plot was awesome!
The writing style was fabulous!
Green has done it again!
He made me laugh and cry with these characters and Aza gave me a new perspective on life and mental health. 
Everything checked the box for me.

Slow to start but as soon as I got into it didn't put it down. A classic John Green story with a flawed main character, loveable friends, kind love interest and a mystery Intertwined throughout. Really felt for the character throughout and her journey through this time in her life. Mental health and the struggles not swept under the rug but spotlighted as well as the impact it can have on those around you.

the ending was one that felt very real and brought me peace but I worried it wouldn't in the lead up. Hearing that her battles continue but she will lead a life and somewhat "go on" through it all brought me a lot of hope in the end

Finished this the last day of my vacation! This book was rather quick and was probably geared towards younger readers! But as an 18 year old who has struggled with mental health and mental illness as well as some grief, this book made me think about things in a whole new light. The plot of the book, from the outside is rather simple! Missing billionaire has reward money posted and two high school teens look into it! But the man on the run makes up so little of the plot when you think about it. Turtles all the way down is an excellent book that portrays mental health in such a true and honest way I haven’t really seen before. Seeing the relationship grow and change between Aza and Daisy and Aza and Davis. It portrays so well how one’s mental health issues can affect friendships and relationships! It was a wonderful eye opener and I’d recommend it to a younger-ish  audience! John green books so far have been a 10/10 for me!

This book is great for a YA novel. The writing was a little on the nose and at times cheesy. However, if I read this at 16 I would have felt seen and for that this book is amazing. I love the OCD and anxiety representation and often this is not done well.

I cried!  I loved being inside Aza’s head although it made my heart hurt for this fictional character sometimes.  It was interesting to experience someone else’s… experience, I guess, with OCD that is more debilitating than mine, because I was able to relate in some ways and not others.  I thought the friendships were very real and well-written.  Overall a good book.

When we find out what Daisy writes about Aza as “Ayalah” (not sure of spelling, I listened to the audiobook), it kinda pissed me off! That’s not a healthy friendship! I’m glad they made up but venting about how awful your best friend is in fanfiction (published, specifically) isn’t okay.

The whole thing is a spoiler, sorry.
