aleksandros_coleman shared a tip "An absolutely glorious book about anxiety, OCD, struggling with being present while dealing with mental health conditions, and also searching for missing people, supporting families. It's brilliant, one of my all time favourites. <3"

josefina_monjaras shared a tip "Yes, In the mind of a person with OCD. The mystery of where a billion air went, some romance. The way where sometimes it’s not always a happy Ending, but you can always keep going if you choose to keep going. With best friends, goals, and knowing yourself more than anyone else. Made me think a lot about some different things I never personally really THOUGHT about… great read.#romance #family #mystery #books #"

kaleign shared a tip "I absolutely loved this book, it made you truly realize the ups and downs in life and there is more that happens to people then they let be shown"

phoebe_fowler shared a tip "This book is a real tearjerker, just like ‘the fault in our stars’ - which I highly recommend, but it is a MUST read every time I read it a new meaning comes with it."

benjamin_stokowski shared a tip "It's pretty good, it gets a little dark at the end but it has a really nice messages and characters. Just a pretty interesting concept in general."

megan_4600 shared a tip "yeah John Green has so many other books that I love but I have really loved reading crime and mystery and thrillers like "woman on the edge", "Tear me apart", and "the girl on the train". If you have any recommendations for me based on those that would be great but if you like this book definitely read his other books"

athanasios_death shared a tip "This book perfectly illustrates the struggles of mental illness and how you can spiral and the way it affects all of your relationships"

lily_smith_9073 shared a tip "This is the best book ever. Okay that may be a stretch, however, It has all of the elements I love without any of them being too overpowering. It has comedy, romance, and lots of thought provoking quotes. I absolutely love this book and will recommend to everyone."

lilly_ofthevalley._ shared a tip "this book was absolutely spectacular, it made me think a lot and honestly i related to the main character quite a lot. i just love john greens work in general! totally recommend if you want something to chew on and treasure :)"

jack_daghir shared a tip "I’m currently reading the Uglies series. The plot is good but the writing is pretty meh. My next read is gonna be They Both Die At the End which I’m pretty excited about :)"

chantel_spencer_1382 shared a tip "John Green did a great job describing anxiety, and the spiraling that comes with it. Along with mystery, a love story, and friendship troubles. It’s a quick read, and easy to get lost into. I didn’t love the ending but it suited the storyline well. I would caution anyone who is currently struggling with anxiety and is wanting to read this book. While the main characters worries aren’t common I still found my throat tightening while reading her inner monologue."

mac_stark shared a tip "This quickly became my favorite book. I love it with a passion. I connected deeply with Aza and her OCD. She showed me that life is full of many perspectives and versions of love."

oh_em1111 shared a tip "i just finished reading this, i literally got it in the mail literally 12 hours ago. as someone with ocd there was so much i could relate to - so much that felt like a thought out of my own head. the way john green articulates literally everything is beautiful. for me the mystery part is kind of in the background and aza’s mental health journey and relationships are really the highlight of this story. but that’s why i loved it so much. i cried MULTIPLE times. highly recommend. i felt so seen. 🥲"

maria_karla_calvo shared a tip "It have a good plot from beginning to end. Seeing how the main character had to deal with OCD and anxiety the whole time and how at the end she was getting better. Even thought is not a romance book, I did like how they thought and described love. Haha thanks to my school librarian for recommending me this book 😊😊"

ella_neill shared a tip "This book is so captivating. It’s a one day read definitely. It takes you into a teenage girl named Aza’s mind and her thoughts. It definitely is interesting to read about her anxious mindset. It’s also interesting to read modern touches to literature because we can all relate to it in our lives today. I give it an 8/10 only because I’m not a fan of language in books and it has language. Definitely a good read and the ending made me feel so many emotions."

jessi_detav shared a tip "Amazing YA novel. Very relatable if you’re an anxious individual. It’s funny, jarring, mildly romantic, and circles around true friendship. I’m a fan of all of John Green’s books, but this one is definitely my favorite (so far)."

heather_harvey_66 shared a tip "The first person POV of Aza really helps readers understand the thought process of someone like Aza who struggles with mental illness. I read it in one sitting!"

zachary_6824 shared a tip "To me, it is a comforting book to read and a good book on mental health. I first read this back when it was first published and back then, I didn't understand it. But I re-read it last year when I was depressed about losing my pet turtle. And the story really helped my mental health. I loved the characters, the story, and how it ended. I do recommend it to anyone who wants a escape from the world. I give the story a 4.5 out of 5 and the book as a whole, 4/5."
