Turtles All the Way Down

 Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, 286 pages.

This book centers on Aza Holmes, a teenager struggling with OCD and anxiety. Aza's life gets more exciting when local Indianapolis billionaire Russel Pickett disappears in an attempt to evade arrest and a huge reward is offered for information that would lead to his arrest. So Aza and best-friend Daisy Ramirez go seeking the reward, which leads them to Davis, the missing billionaire's son and Aza's old friend from "sad camp" a summer camp for kid's with dead parents. Despite that plot, this book is really less a mystery and more an exploration of Aza's relationships with her friends and herself.  

I find it a little hard to rate this book. I thought it was good and interesting, but I had a hard time finishing it. We spend a whole lot of time in Aza's head, and it is not a very comfortable place to be. That being said, I found this book extremely honest and it is very obvious that Green is writing about problems that he personally deals with. All-in-all I would call this a worthwhile read, but be prepared for something heavy.
