I love John Green and didn’t realize that I hadn’t read this book yet.
This is not an easy read, especially as someone with a few germaphobe tendencies.  But it’s well written and you can’t help but want the main character to be okay, even while realizing that might never happen.

John Green's sense of humour may be limited to his YA-type writing, but it is still largely enjoyable. The story is gripping, with Aza's tumultuous mental health (OCD) being the driving force of the story.

It is hopeful and despairing all at the same time, in true Green fashion.

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.

Cried all the way through but I knew I would. I know John Green has OCD and he’s done an absolutely brilliant job conveying exactly what it sounds like in my brain. I guess I just hope for me and for John and for Aza is that we all end up okay. I hope that’s not too much to ask.

I didn't have a good time with this. It was meandering and it didn't always seem entirely sure of what it was trying to say. The ending was very "love is the answer to everything" in a way that didn't seem to truly address most of what the rest of the book was about? And the characters were a bit insufferable.
