Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
5.0

It's been a long time since I've read a book that not only could I not put down, but that also woke me up and required me to keep reading. I mean, I read a lot of good books and even good books that I can't put down. But I was falling asleep when I started this book and practically passing out. I figured I might read a chapter before dozing off, but nope. It woke me up and demanded that I continue reading.

Aza, by the way, is so insanely relatable to me. Maybe insanely is the wrong word. I completely understand the thought spiral and love that John Green managed to capture the feelings of that problem so eloquently. I am grateful that my spirals aren't at the level of Aza's and that, for the most part, there aren't many physical ticks attached, but having this text to point at when I'm having this issue will be invaluable, I'm sure.
