I read this book early in high school but decided to read it again because I didn't really remember anything about it. I liked it a lot - the story was creative and interesting, and I like that it portrays mental health conditions in such a humanizing way. Aza and Daisy's friendship was also great, and while I am admittedly a bit sad that Aza and Davis did not end up together, I think that was the most realistic thing that could have happened. It did feel a little teenager-deep at times, but in general, it was really entertaining and I'm very glad I decided to reread it! I'd recommend this one to anyone who is a fan of John Green or is interested in stories about mental health.

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
