    About this audiobook

    #1 bestselling author John Green returns with his first new novel since The Fault in Our Stars!
     
    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.

    Editor's Note

    Entering a thought spiral…

    John Green’s first book since his mega-hit “The Fault in Our Stars” is a deeply personal one, as it explores mental health issues that have plagued the author his whole life. An existential story rendered with Green’s signature mix of humor, history, and heartbreak.

      Quite possibly my favorite John Green novel. I know. Blasphemous.
    • 4/5
      Beautiful story. It is a bit annoying to be inside Aza’s head all the time but it is described beautifully with all the analogies that I could almost understand how she feels.
      Unfortunately the book is very short.
    • 5/5
      What? No pop quiz?! I enjoyed it though. Thank you.
    • 5/5
      John Green has yet again managed to perfectly capture the angst and internal hardships of an American teenager.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic story, very well thought out and very well written.
      John Green has proven once again to me that he is a master of the English language.
    • 5/5
      Exceptional writing, great narrating. I finished it in four days.
    • 5/5
      Gut wrenching, visceral and moving beyond words. John Green has an incredible way with words
    • 5/5
      By far the best of John Green. Absolutely amazing.
    • 5/5
      Amazing. I felt evey part of this story. It's inspiring, clever, and full of emotions. It brings you to a different world where it's okay to be crazy, and you don't have to worry because you're not alone.
    • 2/5
      The voice took me away from the book. I wanted this to be a fun easy going book where I could do stuff while listening to it. But the lady speaking just made me mad.

      simple & beautiful. I absolutely loved the genuine characters and story line.
    • 4/5
      I don’t have OCD, but this getting to know Aza on a human level within her experiences, her thought spirals with OCD, are similar to mine with my anxiety. I’m not a huge John Green fan, although I loved TFIOS, but this was probably the best he’s ever written. I could feel everything Aza felt, and it made my head and heart hurt for her pain. At least her mother was present and always in her space when needed. We don’t have a lot of good parents in YA so it was nice to see that.

      But OMGGG Daisy. Do I have some words for her. Not only did she give a nickname for Aza but I’m pretty sure she gave it to her /for her/, not for Aza. Holmsey? Really? But yeah in the beginning she was so funny and quirky and cute, but later on because completely insensitive to Aza and her emotions, especially when she wrote a fan fiction character loosely based on Aza, thinking she was a burden to her. And Daisy only apologized once or twice, then glossed over the whole thing when Aza got back to school. WTF. Aza deserves a better “best friend”.

      And oh, Davis. Davis, somebody hold this marvelous boy! I feel like he only understood Aza in a friend turned lover type of way, but didn’t pound her over the head or make her feel badly about herself. However sweet their relationship was, I knew it wasn’t meant to last forever. Especially when Aza went through her spirals WHILE kissing him. Jesus that was painful to read.... but anyway, Davis will always have a soft space in Aza’s heart and mind, and their breakup actually developed into a lovely friendship.
    • 5/5
      A very enjoyable read. Heartbreaking at times but a very touching story. Mental illness is no joke. I think it is a reminder that we don’t know what others are going through and maybe they can’t help how they are if they are a certain way. I will remember this story and look back on its message for some time as I think you will to if you give it a read.
