Turtles All The Way Down by John Green

Summary:-

The book starts with a sixteen-year-old Aza who has a best friend Daisy's on the search for missing Russel Pickett. As she and her friend can win the hundred-thousand-dollar reward. Together, they navigate their way with the help of Pickett's son, Divas. Aza is trying hard to be good enough, but living with her OCD is hard for her and she's not sure if she can live with her oppressive thoughts.

How will Aza handle her thoughts and anxiety? Will they find Russel Pickett? Will this affect Aza and Daisy's friendship?

My Thoughts:-

I've never really been a fan of Green's writing. But I must say that I like Aza's character. I think the OCD representation and interpretation are very well done. Her character went through a lot, despite how she is very introspective and doesn't interact much. Aza's mental health plot was the star of the novel. I enjoyed reading about her OCD struggles. There are parts in the book which are beautifully presented. I was not super emotional after reading it. If we compare this book with "The Fault in Our Stars" it will stand apart.

This novel is a quick read. Even beginners can pick this book up. If you are a John Green fan go for it.
