**SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD AZA NEVER INTENDED** to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there's a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at sake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett's son, Davis.
Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.
In his long-awaited return, John Green, the acclaimed, award-winning author of *Looking for Alaska* and *The Fault in Our Stars*, shares Aza's story with shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.

Review to come. Maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow. But I can promise that it will come.
Absolutely read this book. The characters are so real that you know them. You feel them. It is full of doubt and pain and wonder and hope. Life: it goes on.
I can't really say I enjoyed this, as enjoyed isn't the right word. I found this book well written, interesting, and compelling, and Aza had a unique voice and perspective. The John Green hyper-literate verbal teen trope was still in effect, along with a few zany plot points, but the central premise was interesting and thoughtful and personal.
Trying another book where the main character has OCD in hopes to feel a connection with someone who also has OCD. Will probably be a slow burn.
