“A sometimes heartbreaking, always illuminating, glimpse into how it feels to live with mental illness.” –NPR
John Green, the award-winning, international bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed, returns with a story of shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.
Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis.
Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

This book was everything I didnât know I needed. I love that Aza and Daisy donât necessarily end up with a guy. But there are some present throughout the book. I love how much Daisy and Azaâs friendship was a part of the story and a part of Azaâs self care. I love, well. I just love everything about this book.
John. Thank you, again for a lovely and beautiful read that made me feel like Iâm not alone. I loved every second.
The teenagers in this book all seem extremely mature and philosophical most of the times, and immature and teenager-like occasionally.
The fugitive billionaire storyline felt a bit out of place, and wasn't really interested in that. I feel like this book doesn't really have room for both storylines.
In short, this is a great book, with wonderful, if a bit too "What is Life" and "Are we really real?". This book really brings awareness to mental illness and the fact that's not always the big scary monster we make it out to be. Sometimes, it's just...us. But, as Aza would say, are we really us? Are we our own person?
