So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis.

Once again John Green has created unique characters with unique circumstances. And while I didn’t enjoy this novel as much as his more well-known books, this one still made me smile and feel sad. So, for me, it’s a success if it makes me feel something. Plus, there were all those lovely quotes by others that he included, and some new ones to remember by the author, as well.
While it didn't rip my heart out entirely, the way I expected it to, I spent the majority of the book riveted. Green does such an incredible job of putting Aza's thoughts on display for us that I couldn't get away. A wonderfully emotional journey.
I was under the impression that the main characters were detectives on this missing billionaire case but a fourth of the way through the story they kind of stopped? That whole subplot kind of felt out of place to me. However, this devoted more focus to Aza's anxiety and compulsions which I really enjoyed reading about, so I'm not too pressed about it. The combination of the relatability of Aza's character and the nostalgia I felt reading John Green's unique writing style had me in my feels in the best way.
Loved this book! Describes anxiety well. I liked that there was a mini-mystery intwined in the book but i twas mainly about grappling with one's own self. Really well written.
