This book is everything. Aza is everything.
Of all people, I guess it was always going to be John Green. Who would put my - and so many others' - feelings into words. Just, who would describe it so well. The "spiral" - I realised that this is what it is. I see Aza in myself in so many ways. I also see Daisy in others I know.
I feel like I didn't put enough... effort into this book? I guess I kinda was so worried (for no reason) about my parents potentially (but, like, I know they probably wouldn't) getting mad at me for reading it... that it took me a few months to read, because I was reading it "in secret". But now I kinda regret it, I don't know.
This is the first book to have made me cry in nearly a year. Because John Green is so incredibly amazing and I love him so much.
You can't see it in the picture, but I marked out a lot of quotes in this book. Quotes that seemed to express my thoughts in a way that is actually possible to understand.
Thank you, John Green. You have affected me and others in a way that I am so grateful for. I can't put it into words. I'm so bad at putting things into words. But when I say that this book made me cry, it's a good thing. I was wondering if I was turning into an even-more-crazy-person than I already am. But don't worry, I know I still have a heart now.
Turtles All The Way Down by John Green, 13+*
*This age recommendation is only my opinion. Some younger people might feel comfortable reading this book, and some older people might not. That's fine, either way. Warning for potentially upsetting themes, swearing, sexual references and some kinda scary scenes.
