Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
I'm not going to rate this on a five star scale. That's John Green's thing.
I don't normally read romance, young adult contemporary, or fiction revolving around mental health. This was an interesting mix of topics and I'm glad I read this.
John Green's YouTube and podcast episodes are both philisophical and cheesy at times, but enjoyable both despite and because of that. This book is similar. The audiobook I listened to was narrated by Kate Rudd, but I could hear how John Green would read much of it.
There was little plot movement (I suspect this might be common for YA fiction though) and quite a bit of character development, some of it very emotional. I needed to pause and think while listening at various times.
I appreciated this book. I don't know whether you will. If you like John Green in general, you'll probably enjoy it.
