"The book is so good at showing the grinding wheel of mental illness. And the writing is so good. She doesn’t turn somersaults in a sentence. She does her job and you’re just devastated."

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."
