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!

Sooo..... YYEAAAAHHH this was crap.

Not in the worst way imaginable but this was a high struggle for me to get through.

But i couldn't put it down.

I was going to DNF this at first due to the writing and the dialect and the god awful main characters but after 100 pages in I put myself back in my freshman years and holy crap did this book do Freshman 1st love justice.

I remember thinking a lot of the same things and being that over-exaggerated at that age

But it was still a struggle not to continue to roll my eyes through most of this.

I was okay with the ending .

It gave it a fresh take on real relationships and i could appreciate the author ending it the way he did.

I definitely want to try another book from this author that's not in YA.
