A nice message but gets lost in confusion
The best part of this read was the author's afterword explaining how she wanted to highlight the stigma of mental health. Unfortunately it's hard to decipher that clearly in the book with a few wishy washy themes of religion and racism, and a heavy focus on gossipping neighbours.
The 10-year-old protagonist and her friend Tilly are heroes attempting to sleuth their way into finding the missing Mrs Creasey and as much as I wanted the entire book to be from their perspective, we were lost in the haze of irritating adults. A nice idea but not quite there.

Focuses on YA mental health (2 more)
Really well developed characters that you grow to care about
Great descriptions of the main characters and the thought processes behind their actions
I absolutely adored this book. Ive read a few John Green books in the past but didn’t ‘get’ him the way others do. This is the first one of his books I have connected with. I really cared about what happened to the main character and her ‘boyfriend’. The book kept me riveted till the very end. I enjoyed the writing style and might now revisit Green’s other books and try them again.
Trixie thinks she sees a shark in the Hudson, and her brother Brian is losing health and focus.
And the fact that I can summarize the plot in one complex sentence like that tells you about all you need to know on this one. The characters are out of character (all of them, not just Brian), with Trixie being at her worst. And the two plots? Neither carries the book and both are rather disappointing. There are a few fun character moments, but that’s about it.

This book was just the book for me. I found myself in love with Felicia Day's quirky and unique experiences. This book is full of fun, horrifying, and hilarious stories that shows the reader just how awesome she is.
Felicia didn't hold back in this book, you get an in depth look into her life and how she became who she is today. You learn about her depression, her health issues, her friendships, and her family.
I'm so glad that I purchased this book. It was quirky and hilarious and I loved every minute of it.
If you're looking for a fun geeky experience, this is the book for you.

Nice design (5 more)
Good fit
Robust
Helps to create good habits
Tracks other things such as sleep as well as steps
Links to the Fitbit community
Great for keeping track of your fitness
I’ve had a Fitbit in one form or another for a few years and must say the Blaze is a definite favourite. Just like earlier Fitbits it tracks your excersise and steps however this version also keeps log of weight (if synced to Aria scales), sleep and women’s health. It creates great habits as the Fitbit challenges give you something to focus on and work towards.

I didn’t know what to expect from this book, especially after reading the beginning of the book that used a bit of profanity to get a point across. I am glad I didn’t stop and continued to read. The author shares with the reader her experience with health issues that made her re-evaluate her life; eating habits, stress, mental well-being, exercise, and habits. The approach is quite simple; listen to your body and your intuitions as it will let you know what you need to live a healthy life.
