as with all john green books that ive read, just when i begin to think i like it, it ruins itself.

i can’t say that i dislike this book, but i definitely do not have any type of affinity for it.

The movie just came out so I had to reread the book and aghhh this was well done. I feel like the movie got more of an emotional response out of me but I think it's because the story is harder to "watch" than to just read. Definitely another John Green classic.

He did an excellent job of portraying how difficult it can be to live with any kind of anxiety or mental trauma.

I wish I had read this book when I was in high school. As a fellow Haver of OCD and Anxiety, the way Aza talks about her fears and thoughts was so relatable and somehow comforting to me. The underlying mystery was an interesting enough plot on its own but the story of Aza’s personal growth despite her self-doubt and anxieties was beautiful. Also I loved Davis. John Green, I love you for this book, thank you.

Wow. Did not expect to love this book the way I do. Aza’s mental illness was so powerful. It’s not a plot point; it’s not a plot twist. It’s her, and she’s it. Not in the way that she won’t be able to make it through, that she’ll never be able to come out ahead, but that it’s part of her. OCD and generalized anxiety disorder aren’t the same...but man, I felt known in so many of these moments. I was lost in her spirals with her, good and bad. John Green really hit the mark.
