John Green is just not for me. He writes amazing philosophical spirals and character portraits but he neglects the story so much that there's little to no enticement to keep the train going.

I cried!  I loved being inside Aza’s head although it made my heart hurt for this fictional character sometimes.  It was interesting to experience someone else’s… experience, I guess, with OCD that is more debilitating than mine, because I was able to relate in some ways and not others.  I thought the friendships were very real and well-written.  Overall a good book.

When we find out what Daisy writes about Aza as “Ayalah” (not sure of spelling, I listened to the audiobook), it kinda pissed me off! That’s not a healthy friendship! I’m glad they made up but venting about how awful your best friend is in fanfiction (published, specifically) isn’t okay.

The whole thing is a spoiler, sorry.
