Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

4.0

Started slow, but as I kept going I found it to be incredibly well done. The way OCD is depicted, the reality of life with a mental illness, the way it affects your relationships - so hard to read, but also kind of like “okay, finally. They don’t just self care for a week and come out cured”. While it’s not the tied in a bow happy ending everyone wants, it’s real. And it still inspires hope.
