John Green's YA is always incredibly thoughtful and contains so much depth and exploration of Ideas Bigger Than The Self. 

This one (which is the only John Green I hadn't read), is about a girl with obsessive compulsive disorder, and the intrusive invasive way the disorder disrupts and redirects and infects her sense of self and her ability to navigate relationships.

Really brilliantly written, I consumed it in one sitting.
