*Blurb*
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.
*Review*
Having previously read The Fault In Our Stars, I felt like Aza was a lot like Hazel. They were both teenage girls that had a disease that made their lives difficult. I can't imagine living with a disorder that makes you feel like you have no say in your simple day to day activities. No way to make your head stop questioning everything you did or say.
I didn't read the blurb before reading the book (as I tend not to with most books) and had no idea that there was going to be a search going on for Russell Pickett. I almost felt like that part of the book was a bit cheesy. I feel as if it would have been more relatable to real life if it had just been about the typical teenage life and not have some manhunt added into it.
I did find this book extremely easy to read and follow along with.
