I forgot this book was this weeks weekly read. I've been waiting to read with our weekly read. I may have to put down one of the books I'm reading now to start this one.

finished (view spoiler)[I loved this book in a painful way. Aza's portrayal of mental illness was so real and disturbing it was hard to read. John Green never holds back. I loved Daisy, she was full of energy and even though I thought she was too hard on Aza her feels were real. She really couldn't understand what Aza was dealing with in her mind. Davis and Noah story broke my heart. The ending wasn't a HEA which is how it should be. Aza's mental illness will be something she will have to work at her whole life, but the ending was hopeful and we get picture of how life goes on... (hide spoiler)]

Loved loved loved this book, my new favorite book by John Green. He did an amazing job with it. It felt so real, honest, and most of all relatable.
(view spoiler)[I liked the ending, it felt a little abrupt that Davis and Noah moved and I'm SO GLAD it focused more on Aza and her everyday struggle and what she'll experience in the future. Daisy was the lighthearted and funniness we needed to get through the story and I appreciated their friendship and even though Daisy didnt understand what Aza was going through and sometimes foudn her difficult to be around (like mustard haha) at the end of the day, she's going to be there for her no matter what (hide spoiler)]

I've had this book since it came out two months ago, maybe thus will give me a reason to finally read it.
