I enjoyed that this story wasn't about a big romance, but focused on very real issues for the main character, Aza. Hearing her inner monologue in dealing with her anxiety and O.C.D. was enlightening and added real depth to the story.

The mystery going on in the story is enjoyable, but also made me angry. Without spoiling anyone, I just can't imagine how a person can do what Davis's father did. And my heart hurt for Davis and Noah. Sometimes, being a parent makes certain stories even more emotional for me. When reading books like this as a child, I obviously identified with the child. Now that I have kids of my own, I generally end up identifying with the adult, and I just couldn't see how this man behaved in this manner.

The dynamic between Aza and Daisy was different from other friendships I've read about and I think that the fanfic that Aza finally read ultimately gave them a stronger bond. Daisy's feelings about her friendship with Aza made me reflect on my own friendships and how my anxiety might color people's opinions of me. I think in the future I will be more conscious of how that anxiety manifests itself when hanging out with friends.

Like all Green novels, I did enjoy it. It was deep and meaningful. Some YA is what I call 'fluffy,' it's easy to read and light and fun. Those books are awesome, but so are the ones like this. If you want more than a sweet romance, this book might be for you.
