Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

emotional hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

John Green still breaks my heart in the best ways, the author who made me want to defend YALit in a master's thesis. This book is a beautiful conclusion to his YA era. I had put off reading it for too long but the release of a film adaptation finally motivated me. I do not have OCD, but it has overlap with anxiety and this is such a devastatingly accurate depiction of spiraling, paralyzing episodes. Read with care.
