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. @goodreads
I thought I would fall in love with this book but I just didn't. 😕
Now I give all of the stars to Aza, Davis and Noah.
I loved Aza so much and as I have mental disorders I can totally relate to her. She's a wonderful character.
Davis
is her boy ish friend and he's awesome too. Noah is his brother. They
are totally rich and their father is missing. So this is about finding
each other and finding a missing father. A few other things thrown into
the mix.
I think what kept this from being a 5 star was Daisy. I
just didn't like her at all. She was Aza's best friend. I just couldn't
handle her.
So, on to the next!
Happy Reading!

I'm so nervous about giving this one a read...
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, glad to read your review of Turtles All the Way down. I love John Green and was curious about this book. Glad you liked the characters.
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing a lot of negative things about Daisy. I know I struggle with unlikable characters, but I am surprised to hear that JG gave the MC such a crap best friend.
