The inner dialogue & process of trying to speak it out loud, was perfectly written. I related so deeply to Alaska, in Looking for Alaska, but Aza from Turtles All the Way Down, has proven to connect with me too.

Great read. Great story. Great mental health visibility.

I really love the metaphorical writing. Some people might find the repetitiveness a little annoying, but I think it contributes to the meaning of the story and what the author is trying to communicate. I couldn't give it 5 stars only because I felt the ending was left kind of open and had some unanswered questions. Which doesn't really suit my personal preference. However I think the openness of the ending was intentional and, again, was meant to contribute to the meaning of the story. Over all I love this book for its ability to put feelings into words and for its purpose. Well done!
