I mean it wasn't the worst book out there but it is by far my least favourite John Green book to date.
Aza was insufferable as a character at first but I grew to like her a bit. Her inner monologue made it better.
Daisy was the only redeeming character
Will list more thoughts later :/ ...more

I don't read a lot of YA these days and I was a little worried about going back to this one, but I ended up really enjoying my reread. It was very quick and engaging and I found the descriptions of the main character's struggle with anxiety to be very relatable.
I had recalled not feeling as intensely about this story as I did about some of John Green's other books and I think it's true that it isn't quite as hard hitting or emotionally intense as Looking for Alaska or The Fault in Our Stars. But ...more

I enjoyed this far more than any other book of John Green's that I have read, and I have read most. The protagonist, Aza, was far more believable, and while the plot was improbable at a couple of points it was not to the extent I ever considered not finishing it. I really enjoyed her relationship with her best friend, Daisy. John Green was spot on.

Not my favorite John Green book. It took a while to get into the story. I had a hard time connecting to the characters.
I loved this book about Aza and Davis. They were both so fragile and broken and yet survivors. This is a beautifully written, heartbreaking book about mental illness. Wonderful!

Green captures the mental prison that is OCD with precision.
