Auburn (57 KP) rated Tell Me Three Things in Books

Apr 10, 2019

An adorable way to go about some pretty dark things. This book brings in; parental loss, drugs, bullying, and so much more while still feeling almost light.
The good in the book outshines all the bad. While it is a lengthy read there is a lot of side thoughts and discussions that most teens if not anyone would appreciate. The author tries to tackle so much that at points it gets a bit wordy.
Overall I really enjoyed the book, characters, and that ending was beyond perfect.

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.

The timeline and research blew my mind

I didn’t know if I was going to like a book purely delivering a take on Greek mythology, turns out I loved it. Circe is pretty much the sole actor on stage and she captivates you with her thoughts, decisions, deeds and most of all her growth into the goddess she was destined to be. The writing was superb.

I recommend this to all my friends to just give it a go, even if you think it’s not your thing.
