Why do I ever start reading a John Green book thinking it would have a Happy End? I don't know either, and don't get me wrong, I do love his bittersweet realistic endings.

I’ve read several of John Green, he outdid himself on this book. Normally I could take or leave his writing so I’ve been putting this off because I figured I would toss it in the “tried but can’t do it” pile, which isn’t very high…He captures the thoughts and actions of someone driven by a mental illness. He shows the character fighting every step of the way to “not be” herself, to not accept herself. Every step was agonizing for her. A lot of people do not understand how the brain can be driven by itself when all it takes is “will” for them to read a paragraph without distraction or dismiss a thought. This book shows those emotions that can’t be described at one time.

The emotional bond between Davis and Aza feels a little underdeveloped and it feels there is no significant character development. However it was a great book and it was in fact emotional to see inside Aza's head, made me empathize with those who have OCD more.
