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.

Hi there everyone! I'm completely new here, so I'm still learning what to do and how to do it! I'm a writer of romance, I write both mainstream romance as well as lesbian romance. My books are published and can be found at Amazon.com under my name. I have three series out currently. My brand of romance is somewhat different from the classic romances, first of all there's action, I write mostly law enforcement, military or music industry related fiction. My characters deal with things like PTSD, mental health and violence against women. My female characters are ALWAYS strong women, I write them the way I want women to be perceived.

Really well developed characters that you grow to care about
Great descriptions of the main characters and the thought processes behind their actions
A bit far fetched at times (0 more)
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.

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.

I was provided a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
