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!

Not to be read in public places, unless you're good at describing ridiculous things succinctly!
This book has been hours of me laughing out loud, sometimes hysterically, then having to explain to my husband why I'm laughing and him not getting it at all, because he hasn't read the book! So entertainment all round then!
I really liked how Jenny Lawson mixes her hilarious ramblings in with the sensible, sobering stuff. I would say that I'm hugely impressed with how she has exposed herself to the world, telling them about her mental health issues along with the other conditions she has, but I suppose this is the era of people starting to realise that 1 in 4 will have a mental health problem at some point in their lives. It's not a secret, and nothing to be ashamed about.
Anyway, this was hugely entertaining, and slightly embarrassing to read in public!
