A very cute book detailing the life of a young girl dealing with OCD, I liked how this wasn’t portrayed the way OCD usually is, I like the metaphors and the way John Green managed to tie what was going on around Aza to her OCD, but the plot it’s self was lacking. It felt like the plot was only addressed in the first 3 chapters and the last 2. It was all so coincidental that these teenage girls would waltz into this billionaires mansion, befriend the billionaires son and solve the mystery of said billionaires disappearance.

“Dr. Singh told me once that if you have a perfectly tuned guitar and a perfectly tuned violin in the same room, and you pluck the D string of the guitar, then all the way across the room, the D string on the violin will also vibrate. I could always feel my mother’s vibrating strings.”

“Being vulnerable is asking to get used”

“The worst part of being truly alone is you think about all the times you wished that everyone would just leave you be. Then they do and you are left being, and you turn out to be terrible company”

This was a great book. Aza struggles with anxiety and OCD which is relatable. At times you don’t want to feel for her but you know that she’s trying really hard her brain just won’t process things because of the anxiety. The “mystery” aspect of the book was fun and it followed through without slowing down the story. Everything naturally moved along.
