I love John Green for so many reasons, not the least of which is his ability to place me in a mind that I can't escape, even if I want to. Aza's OCD is so realistic that it makes me feel the thought spirals deeply, even though I know I don't have to worry about that particular affliction. It is the power of the story, the understanding and empathy that comes from knowing there is work to be done on one's self.

Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake 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.
