This book written by John Green is about a teen girl called Aza and trying to deal with her mental illness, her anxiety described as an ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts. At the same time a billionaire has gone missing and she was once friends with one of his sons.

This book's language is easy to read, the story is flowing and engaging and relatable. I myself have a mental illness and i've never been able to explain how I have been feeling, reading this book I feel like John Green looked inside my head and understood me, I feel less alone and more able to express myself.

Not only is this book helping me with my health but it is a riveting story about morals, does she expose possible evidence of the missing billionaire and perhaps exploit his two sons in order for her and her friend to receive a hefty cash reward, or does she help his two sons in grieving their missing father. I refused to put down this book, everywhere I went it followed me, much to my families dismay as therefore I refused to socialize with them. 

I'd recommend this book to those older than 14, anyone who also has their own mental issues and also to parents of people with mental issues as it might help them to understand and help their children. I give this book 5/5.
