Honest Portrayal of Mental Health Issues
This book blew me away, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The way John Green portrayed mental health was brutally honest. It was hard to read at some points but it was refreshing not to have a YA book romanticize mental illness but instead to show it from all sides: the way it affects familial relationships; the way it affects friendships; the way it affects romantic relationships and how easy and scary it is when your thoughts spiral out of control.
I loved reading about Aza and how she navigates through her friendships, new relationships and dealing with OCD. I have so much respect for John Green after reading this. It was very well done, and the Star Wars references were an added bonus!

I got stuck on a level because I had managed to get myself locked in a dungeon I was too underlevelled for. Got bored and didn't feel like redoing it.

I don’t know what I expected from this book, but it exceeded my expectations. It was fascinating and Evaristo really shares a lot of herself: her triumphs, her failures, her good and bad relationships. She tells us about the lesbian relationships she had through her 20’s, and talks of her relationship and marriage with her husband. Her determination to run theatre companies with and for black women, telling black womens stories.
But it’s her perseverance that stays with me well after I’ve finished the book. She really didn’t give up, no matter the circumstances.
This is well worth reading.
