I just love John Green and he can largely do no wrong, so of course I thought this was delightful. Read it in 4 hours as soon as it was finally delivered to me on release day. I think part of my affection is that I also watch his vlogs and listen to his podcast with Hank, so there's all these little things he's mentioned over the years and it's so fun to see them pop up in a book!

As a fairly well-read person, I think this handled mental illness in a way I haven't seen before, and a way that is wonderful and needed. As someone who has struggled with some anxiety and intrusive thoughts, it was comforting and even exciting to see some of my dark places described so well. YES! That fear I've only named to my husband and mental health counselor is real and in this book and I'm not alone!
