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 have found that sad books really affect my mood so i want to rate it lower because i didn’t actually enjoy the experience that much, but it having a big emotional effect on me makes me want to rank it higher. i think i’m going to be thinking about this book for a while. i feel like most of the john green books i’ve read have ocd in them, does he have ocd??? maybe i live under a rock. it was a good progression i think

I really loved Aza's unique voice. It's clear that John has personal experience with OCD. The plot at first feels very John Green-esque until you realise the plot is not the point and it's only a means to an end. The first two thirds of the book were fine but felt kinda like any other John Green book but then the last third took up speed and really drew me in. Like this might end up being my favourite book of his after The Anthropocene Reviewed.
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
