One of my favorite authors. I think I cry at the end of all his books. This one being no different. For me, reading about anxiety disorders and what peoples brains go through during that strikes me as very interesting. He has an amazing way with words.
My new favorite john green book for sure. I’ve read every single one, and none have ever resonated with me as much as this one.
I liked the narrative of the mentally ill main character Aza and her relationship and interaction with her best friend Daisy. The plotline with her friend and love interest Davis seemed silly, but I'm sure it adds a lot of interest for younger readers.
Loved this book. You never really knew what was to come. The story kept you interested and had a great chapter that showed you what it was like to have major anxiety.
