You will, most likely, feel exactly the same. You will probably not feel better after reading this book. If you have lost a parent, to death or disappearance, the book says: life goes on. If you have a mental illness, the book says: life goes on. This is not a story about a girl with a mental illness solving a mystery. Aza and her best friend Sy are initially in it for the $100,000 reward, but the money becomes irrelevant pretty quickly. Aza just so happens to know his son Davis from Sad Camp, a place for kids with a dead parent. This time, the teens casually investigate the disappearance of a corrupt billionaire. Turtles All The Way Down features John Green’s usual cast of existential, well- read teenagers. Protagonist Aza Holmes constantly obsesses over her internal bacteria and wonders who she really is amidst so many factors she can’t control. I enjoyed John Green’s honest portrayal of a girl with mental illness in Turtles All The Way Down. ![]()
