Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
5.0

”No one says goodbye unless they want to see you again”

Refreshing, short-but-concise and real. My first ever John Green book read and I’d like to say it was a great choice because now I want to know John’s pen better.

None of the characters are black and white. They have shades of gray that, even with the length of the book, you can see through them with just a little peek.

Aza’s OCD is present at all times and it’s palpable. It is there. It’s not just a trait that isn’t developed just to make someone special, no, it is part of Aza, like any other mental illness.

With the alternative cover (that has the movie characters) I thought it was going to be a queer book and it would’ve been cute that way. Still, not mad at my reading whatsoever. I really needed a relaxing reading that made me have a great time!
