This is probably my favorite John Green book of all. Simple, yet with impressive depth of focus, it reads like an amazingly fluent introspection of self. I love it because of its simplicity of style and the pure motives of its characters.

It's everything I love about John Green and in this moment, having just finished reading, I feel that it was worth the wait for this book. I love Aza, I am frustrated by Aza, I recognize more of myself than I am sometimes comfortable with in Aza. Well done, Mr. Green. ...more

I didn’t love this book. I like Green’s unique characters, but some of this was a bit surreal for me. I did find some really great descriptions, like what school is like for someone with anxiety and how her life will get built and unbuilt and built again during cycles of mental health issues.
