This book cured my reading-slump, cleared my skin and watered my crops.

As someone who struggles with anxiety and compulsion, this book feels like the most honest, raw portrayal of what it’s like to be trapped in your own mind. Aza’s battle with her mental health is painfully real, and it resonated deeply with me. Green doesn’t just write about mental illness; he brings it to life in a way that’s both comforting and unsettling.

The mystery at the heart of the plot was secondary for me. The true strength of the book lies in the friendship between Aza and Daisy. Their bond is a powerful reminder of how essential it is to have someone who stands by you, no matter what. This book beautifully captures the importance of connection and support when facing life’s darkest moments. Reading it made me even more thankful for the “Daisy’s” in my own life—those friends who have been there for me, holding my hand through the hardest times.

Rounded up from 4.5. I loved the OCD and anxiety representation despite some hiccups. And I loved the main character and Daisy a lot :). This one suprised me.

[Audiobook]

For starters, i'm being biased because the main topic revolves around mental health.
This book. It got to me. Not through the non-existent plot nor by its pretentious so called philosophical insights, but through Aza.

Aza is the main character. A 16 year old teenager that suffers from anxiety (mainly OCD), and that hit a chord. John Green managed to portray the inner turmoil of a mentally ill person in a way that's near palpable.
The only thing that got me going 'till the end was to see how she'll deal with her anxiety issues. It was wonderfully done in a loose way no spoilers.
