I’m a big fan of John Green so his latest release was highly anticipated. As someone with an anxiety disorder I found his portrayal of mental illness almost upsettingly exceptional. Some of the scenes were so relatable that I could see myself in Aza’s place. That being said, the overarching plot was somewhat lacking; I felt like the book wrapped up too quickly and the balance of the two plots, finding a lost rich man and living with mental illness, was lost.

Although this series can be hard to watch at times, the way in which they deal with mental illness and the stigma around it is amazing.

Great read
John Green has a talent for making his characters feel like real people with very real problems. Aza's struggle with her mental health is heartbreaking and engaging, but the true magic of this book is how her struggles also impact those around her. Davis and Daisy are both well rounded characters who have realistic reactions to Aza's illness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like an inside look at the spiraling invasive thoughts that can be caused by mental illness.

"A mesmerizing look into mental illness. Susan Sheehan is unsentimental but empathetic and this is an incredibly suspenseful book about one woman’s life. I also read authors like Kay Jameson and Oliver Sachs after reading this book."

I enjoyed this. The beginning was fun and flirty before we started in on the more serious aspects of mental illness and family issues. Nevertheless I liked their story, the slow young love that builds between our characters.

I love this book. Though it the third book in the series. I would love to read book 1 and two. This book deals with someone who struggling to deal with herself and her Illness a bit and building a relationship. This book does go into several thing about dealing the illness and how to over come it and several different issues. I really do believe the author did a great job. I will let you decide it you ever want to read it and come away with your own thoughts on it.

Well written, very informative and knowledgeable about how to survive with a chronic illness. I will definitely be using some of the information I found out. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Pretty disappointing
This series didn’t live up to the hype. I couldn’t really follow the timelines. Was this a show about mental illness or was this a show about a paranormal house or a group of psychic children? Who the hell knows.

"This is about a young man who goes to a sanitarium in the Swiss Alps to visit his tubercular cousin and winds up staying there for seven years. To paraphrase the Stefon character from SNL, “it’s got everything: love, illness, art, philosophy, religion…”"
